Fly DC-9 finished

Got my Fly DC-9 finished last week. Rainy spell here, so no outdoor photo backdrop shots- maybe later this week.

Wow I like it, nicely done

Same here, looks awesome.

Splendid, Don.

Looks just fine, Don. What was the NMF? Sure appears real.

That’s a great-looking model, Don.

And it brings back fond memories of seeing these at my home airport a long time ago, so thanks for that.

Polished aluminum Alclad. I am sorry I used the polished rather than the airframe aluminum. I think it looks just too polished. I had intended to do more panel work with either frisket paper or Post-its and regular aluminum, but I was racing to get it ready for Nordiccon, and didn’t have time. I may do it yet, one of these days.

Beautiful build.[Y]

The sun is shining today! That let me shoot outside! Here are some photo backdrop shots against MSP (Minneapolis- St. Paul).

Okay, there is a major goof in this next picture. Can you see what I did wrong?

Holy cow that looks real! It can’t get any better than that

One of (IMHO) the prettiest liveries on any airliners, ever—and your particular aircraft is absolutely stunning! Really nicely done.

That sure does look real![t$t]

An excellent job, Don. You also did a nice job photographing it. [Y]

Didn’t spot your challenge the first time around.

Is it the odd shadow from the horizontal stabilizer—a little too close to the photo background?

Still great work, though!

Exactly!!

Very nice!

Great job Don, both aircraft and photo depiction. You are getting that photo thing down!

Great work Don, I love the metallic finish
