    Really well done! May pick it up. I have the Revell 1/200 twin kit too.  Wonder if Atlantis has it??

    Very nice! I'm happy Atlantis is reissuing some of the hard to find Revell and Aurora kits. 

    Thank you all for the kind words.

  2. I’m as disappointed with the above announcement Tim is showing us. As I am excited with the news gave Tim us else where here, about Round 2’s upcoming kits. I was hoping for a Jo-Han model company that reissued old Jo-Han kits the way Round 2 is reissuing old AMT and MPC kits. The Utility Trailer is kind of cool. But, not what I’m really wanting from a model company using the good old “Jo-Han” name.

    mate, nice job! You must have had that kit in the stash for a while - they're as rare as rocking horse pooh nowadays. I'd been looking for one for a while but I'm just am not prepared to pay the values on eBay.

    You did a great job on it and the scheme really suits it.

    If I got one, I'd do one as a WHIF subject like you, but in one of the older Air New Zealand schemes (one of the least likely airlines who would acquire one) or even Qantas. Maybe I should buy 3 so I could have Thai Airlines as well :D 

    Its a reissue/new kit. It just came out in the last six months or so. The Atlantis reissue makes it fairly easy to find now again.

  4. Just finished this one over the weekend. It’s Atlantis’ 1:400 scale Boeing SST 2707 model kit. Done in the Pan Am decals included with kit. Representing the fictional/proposed plane “Astral Clipper,” N2001PA.

    I like that this kit is 1:400 scale. I have several die-cast airplanes in that scale. Including the Dragon Wings Pan Am Concorde seen for comparison in the one photo below.

    I also have the 1:200 scale two plane Revell, Pan Am/Boeing SST kit sitting on the shelf waiting to be built. Dreams from my childhood I wish would have been taken.

    My latest build. A nice easy build. Had to adjust the front wheels back a bit. AMT used the chassis from the '66 Wildcat for this one causing the wheelbase to be a bit too long. Front wheels were hitting the fender wells.

    Well, one must consider that they where designed to be assembled and taken apart to change them up a bit. Hence the toy like construction of some of the parts. 

    I could never figure out to build the “Switcher” kits so that the left over parts could be switched to do other variations later. The kits just would not stay together without gluing the “switcher” parts together. Beyond that, I kind of liked the two or three Switcher kits I’ve built in the past.
