AREA 88: "Sitting on the Tarmac" (B-707)
1May 25, 2019A nice shiny new red box.
2May 25, 2019And some OLD sprues with lots of flashing.
3May 25, 2019The fit will take some inspiration and perspiration.
4April 26, 2020Ok, let’s wire up the wings... Green on the right.
5April 26, 2020Red on the left!
6April 26, 2020Test run... wingtip lights on, looks good.
7April 26, 2020Interior lights in place.
8April 26, 2020All lit up. Yeah... this’ll work.
9April 27, 2020added 6g of nose weight (as per the instructions) and painted the cabin interior black.
10April 27, 2020All glued up and ready to go!
11April 28, 2020Time to work on the engines. They're plain, but the fans from a 1/288 B747 should work to add some details.
12April 28, 2020A bit small, but not very noticeable.
13April 28, 2020First round of putty and sanding complete. Engine pods added... now for round two!
14May 2, 2020Windows masked... finally.
15May 3, 2020First coat of white paint on. That always makes me happy.
16May 6, 2020Masking taped... first coat of aluminum, but I bet it won't be the last...
17May 6, 2020More masking... now for some dark metallic grey.
18May 6, 2020Paint looks pretty good, but the tape took off some of the aluminum, so there will be touch ups... of course!
19May 6, 2020More masking.. and blue paint. I hope it's close enough to Lufthansa colours...
20May 6, 2020Drilled out the engines... that took a while.
21May 6, 2020Engines on.. so of course we need another power test!
22May 9, 2020And... decals! They're from an A300, so they're a bit big... but close enough for comic books!
23May 10, 2020Finally, we need some stairs. A bit of leftover tank bits should do the trick.
24May 10, 2020That's about the right height I think. And... we're done.

Moments before a chance encounter with Saki, Ryoko stares out the window and sees a Lufthansa Boeing 707 sitting on the tarmac.
