Here’s another one for Brian in particular… Another oldie, a kit built in '93, out of the box:
Nice little kit, really! Hasegawa’s 1/200 DC-9-40 in TDA markings…
I love your bases DJ!
Great looking model! As I’m looking at these, I’m beginning to get more and more envious of you! Thanks for posting the pics I’ve really enjoyed them.
Darren.
Awesome model again. It is really hard to see much things from your pic though. Still it looks really proffetional just like you are!
Thanks, Adam, Alex and Darren. The base is just a piece of plastic card, painted over in grey acrylic, enamel white, yellow and black for the lines, and weathered with various shades of pastel dust. Sorry the pic is not any better… I still have that model, somewhere in the loft, but this was an old picture I scanned…
nice one !
good weathering…for a civil a/c it must be
tough.
yeah, it’s easily overdone, Obiwan… Graphite and artist’s oils is all I use.
Niiiice, Domi!
Looks like the real deal!
I don’t know TDA…reading the Kanji on the fusuelage, it says “Toa Kokunai Koku,” which translates as “East Asia Domestic Airlines.”
Ah, just looked it up! TDA= Toa Domestic Airlines.
Never heard of 'em!
Defunct?
It merged with another Japanese airline in 1988 to become the better known and more colorful JAS (Japan Air System). This kit was obviously from the earlier part of the '80s…
Thanks for the info!
JAS is still going strong!
