Boeing 247

A very soft plastic 

I had to remove a lot of flash on this parts.  

I am sure noone can see inside the finished model 😉 

but I know it's there 😉 

Completed the seats 

I managed the single windows very good 

Ready for pairing 

You will never see the glue 

What you will see from the interior 

What you will see from the cockpit - nothing! 

We know it will be there 😉

First part of the coloring 

Not forgotten nor a shelf-death 😉 

Next decals applied. Handling with those old decals is not easy 

Very fine decals! 

Decals are good - even after 25 years! 

The plane looks good

I accidential touched the wing with a glove that had particles of color on it. Damn! 

It took me half an hour to repair my failure 

Still in progress 😉 

glued the nacelles to the engines but not to the wing 

Where are 2 parts, numbered "14"? 

Found! 

Guess how I managed to fiddle those rings into the tube? 

Both engines are running 😉 

No so much to do until the finish
