Hey Guys!
Ran across these decals and I had to build it. In over fifty years of modeling (mostly cars), this is my first airliner. It was so much fun I already have another one started.

Aww, that is just beautiful! Great job!
Very nice! I just started a NASA DC-9-30 myself. Same kit with Ronin decals.
Quite nice.
Never a dull moment at this end of the modeling forum. I know of a kid who flies the 737 in the Navy and became a pilot for southwest after he did his time. ‘Smart kid’
Very nice build!
Nice build! We had one of those at Cherry Point back in the late "80s - early '90s. For some reason, I remember the C-9 being called a “Nightingale” and not “Skytrain II”. Bad memory on my part?
Just found the answer to my question - The USAF called it the “Nightingale”, and the Navy & USMC called it the “Skytrain II”. Learn something new every day…
I see one of them fly out of here about once a week
Awesome build, it really came out great
That’s great! I just saw one of these birds in Phoenix. They have repainted it in grey but it’s still glossy. I was tickled pink because I have the 1/72 scale Transport Wings kit and now I want to reproduce the one I saw.
Nice looking bird!! I’m sure that your experience in building autos helped in getting a great glossy finish. I also built my first airliner this year, the Zvezda 787. I had a lot of fun with it, and I’m sure I’ll do another airliners soon.
Really nice build!
Great job !!!
