After some time, I found all I needed to finish this one model. It's the ancient Aurora kit of the 1/72 scale DC-9 in Hughes Airwest markings:    The yellow was a spray bomb of gloss, and the wings were a metallic silver paint from a spray bomb as well. Thank you all for looking in, comments are welcome. |

Mark, I love it!
Did Aurora make a 727 in 1/72 as well?

Thank you Carlos! I don't know if Aurora made a 727 in 1/72 scale, but another company did. I have that one to try and start soon:  Thank you Handi! I was very happily surprised that the yellow spray can laid down such a smooth and shiny coat. |

I really like what you did with this small scale build here and I like the fact that you pulled that yellow paint job off as well as you did. Just beautiful.  |

Thank you Joe! I'm pleased with the yellow paint as well. It's so hard to do, yet this one came put well. I'm very happy!
Thank you Kyle! I started a second DC-9 already again. This one will be a TWA bird with my Connie.

Thank you Tony! I've always wanted to do airliners, but I didn't want to drop a scale to do it. I held out until a few companies released 1/72 scale airliners and those are the ones I'm building. Of course that still limits me, but I am happy with the selection I have now.

Thank you Dodgy! I'm still thrilled with how it looks.
Thank you Ben! It is a different livery for me, that's why I had to do it.
