LSP_K2 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 As has become my custom over the years, the eve of a new year is time to break out and start a brand new kit. This year it's the Zvezda 767-300, a Christmas gift from a pal. This will be done up in the markings of KLM, one of my favorite schemes.

LSP_K2 Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Windows are a pretty decent fit, but I'll be puttying them anyway, for the window decals I've chosen. Wings and stabs glued up too. denders, Derek B, Shoggz and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Wing root fit looks pretty good, and should allow a complete painting of the fuselage before the wings are attached. LSP_Kevin, Alex, Landrotten Highlander and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Wings and vertical tail, temporarily held together, show no signs of warpage or other unpleasantness. Landrotten Highlander, Fanes, denders and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Modern Zvezda kits are pretty nice, huh? How well do the engine pylons fit the wings? Will you be able to paint those separately as well? LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Try as I might, I cannot remember what blue I used on my Revell kit (now long gone), but think I've selected a Tamiya lacquer that'll be very, very close to this.

That looks very close. FWIW Humbrol X302 is marketed as KLM Light Blue. Derek B, LSP_K2 and chrish 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Top & bottom seams, which I always bevel to one side, now all slopped up with wonderful Gunze liquid putty. LSP_Kevin, Rampenfest, Derek B and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Though I’ve never built one, I’m fascinated by airliner kits & builds. Enjoying watching you bring this one together. Thanks for sharing. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Oh boy, supplies! (I just loves me some supplies). I'll still need to order more, but I'm getting there. Derek B, Rampenfest, LSP_Kevin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
