Should be the other way around, at the larger parts as this makes gluing mating sections so much easier. And even better, a loose string of tabs to be glued on the inside to get smooth joints between the various fuselage sections.
As far as I remember I only flew once in a B727, in the US on a flight from St. Louis to New York in 1990. Getting old .

In any case, my humble advice would be, put the model aside and start something new. How about GPM's IAF F16D. A double-seater and something a bit out of the ordinary.

Cheers,

The B-727 is a favorite of mine. Had many flights on it including a private one when I worked for Pratt and Whitney and we shuttled from Connecticut to Florida for work. Also, many flights from Boston to New York city on the Delta Shuttle and before when operated by TWA.


As for this build, as I said it is ruined and I will only finish it without regards to trying to making it look good or trying to fit the parts. I will post some more pictures, but no details on the build. It will be tossed out later.

I do have a few projects waiting, but for now, the F-16 is no one of them ( I have multiple kits though ).

Isaac,

Sorry to hear that this build is off track. It's unfortunate, and maybe some good instructions might have helped.

Look forward to your next project.

As I said, my build of this model went really bad. Primarily the lack of any instructions or graphical views. So I was left guessing. And in the process, this became a worse experience than an Alpha build.

But before I throw it in the garbage, I decided to finish it as best as I can ( errors and all ). I will not show the bottom. It is a disaster!!!!!!!

Here is the model short of the landing gear.





and with the DC-9 I built earlier. Pics are only for size comparison.



On to another build soon.
