It's my first time
submitting my article and pics on ARC :-); though I have been scale
modeling for many years. I purchased this Minicraft kit (originally Delta
Airlines) on eBay and converted it into a Singapore Airlines (Civil
Registration 9V-SVN). The model is built for a SQ commercial pilot who
flies this A/C.
The kit was
constructed with additions of plastic cards cut to form the antenna and spray
painted with Gunze and Tamiya paints. The toughest & time consuming part was
sanding and puttying the cockpit/windscreen area :-(( It was finally
coated with Gunze Super Clear Coat to seal the decals and paint job. The
completed plane is mounted on a wooden stand with super glue and epoxy and
thereafter, 'epoxied' to the base of the display case to make a sturdy and solid
display stand. Decals used were custom made to suit the existing
livery and markings of the present SQ 777 fleet.
