Atlant Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Here is my DC-10, which I build OOB, but had to use after-market decals to cover partially molded cockpit windows. (Sorry for quality of pictures) Thanks for looking. Leo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oldHooker Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) Hi Leo, Thanks for posting your build and for the great information about the decal sets, Leo! :) During my time in Atlanta, it was an awe inspiring event to see the beautiful British Caledonian DC-10! If my memory serves, they made stops there three or four times a week in the late afternoon, and I would ALWAYS make it my business to check what runways were active so I could be in a good location for an up-close spotter's view when the beast arrived!! The ambition to build a model of it never went away, and here 23 years later it's finally taking it's place in the stack! :( Beautiful work, and thanks again for all your help! Take care, Frank Edited March 16, 2009 by oldHooker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LHRHKG Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Leo, Thanks for sharing this fantastic looking DC-10! Certainly brings back memories... British Caledonian DC-10 is probably what got me interested in airliners... when I was around 6 or 7 years old my father used to travel a lot between Hong Kong and London and every time he would fly on the B CAL DC-10. I got to watch his flights take-off and land and he always brought back models of B CAL DC-10 and other stuff from the flights... some of which I still have today! Also had a giant poster of a B CAL DC-10 on my bedroom wall at one time... Having seen your build... I have already put a B CAL DC-10 on my "to do" list...

DC10Oiller Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Nicely done Leo. The DC-10 was quite the airplane. I only I wish I was able so spend more time on it. :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oceanic 815 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Really nice looking Dc-10. Which color did you use for belly part, because I really like how this metal finish turned out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atlant Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Thank you guys for your kind words! Which color did you use for belly part, because I really like how this metal finish turned out? It's Tamiya's TS-30 "Silver leaf" or TS-17 "Polished Aluminum" spray can. (Sorry, but I cannot remember which one was used for this model). Leo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GCA333 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Excellent build Leo! Love the BCal livery, it looks good on anything! Shame about the flightdeck windows, but they don't take anything away from this beauty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
