It indeed is a boatload of work. But I’ve never seen a kit with this feature before, so I had to try it.
Lots of test fitting, gluing with Tamiya extra thin, filling gaps with black CA and Tamiya white putty. Also a good amount of Mr. Surfacer 500.
I have two more CRM 727–200 in the stash, both will be Braniff..
I probably will do the clear window option on both of those. Doing this Lufthansa 727 has taught me a lot and I think it’ll be easier on the other two.
But I’m working on other projects right now after I finish up the Lufthansa 727–200, so it’ll be a while. I’ve got the final satin varnish drying now, so by Friday I hope to install the landing gear, which is always so much fun. 😀
So, what is your opinion on the clear plastic overlays for the cabin windows??
