LSP_K2 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Nice! I have an SAS MD-80 underway that I need to finish, a gift for a good pal. Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that I may still have an old Welsh Models vacform SAS MD-80 or 90 somewhere, but I suspect that the decals will all be cracked due to aging!

Derek B Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Had a quick 'in the box' visual of it last evening. Generally, a very nice looking kit with extremely fine engraving detail. It has good old fashioned moulded window apertures and windscreen transparencies, but no internal bulkheads or cockpit detail! My example does exhibit some fairly severe warpage on the right wing and a more minor one on the right upper fuselage half, but otherwise, is good (my understanding is that most of these kits are OK, but that some do occasionally suffer from this problem).

jenshb Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Like this! I don't know how far down the rabbit hole you want to go, but I an faairly certain the SAS 767s had P&W engines, whereas the Zvezda kit comes with GE engines only. The differences are subtle however. (shorter and more rounded hot exhaust cowling). Sergey Druz makes the correct P&Ws, but they are expensive. Derek B and LSP_Ray 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jens, I haven't considered or even looked at that aspect yet, so that is a useful observation! The Lima November SAS decals provide markings for both -200 and -300 versions of the aircraft. The kit is a -300 version, so I would need to see if both variants have the same engine types? (my intention is to make the B767-300 version). I am not ready to start making it yet, so there is time for me to check this out - thank you. Derek Alex, LSP_K2 and LSP_Ray 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Rather surprisingly, there are no antennas or beacons provided in the kit, at least that I've been able to determine. Derek B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get some aftermarket parts from CRM, which I used on the Minicraft 757. I still had to scratch-build the anti-collision beacon, though.
