The engines are too close to the fuselage in the Fly kit.

The cheatline and windscreen added, the trickiest decals in the set, around the engines in particular.

The decal doors don't fit the panel lines at all 🙁

Fooling around using the Authentic Airliner Decals, quite satisfied tbh. 🙂

Welcome everyone! The project has slowed down a bit due to lovely weather outside, but I'll get back to it, honest! 😉

Good for you to get some nice weather, it is pure hell here in Sweden. But at least it is nice and cozy in the hobby room. DC9's are so pretty! Looking forward to see yours!

They are indeed, the shorter the better. I'm almost sure more of them are to come 🙂

Welcome and thanks. As I love the transparent windscreens in airliner kits, it's hard to combine it with DC-9s in 144th - either you have to sell a kidney to get an EE/Airfix kit or you have to live with this one. I decided to cheat it using the Authentic Airliner Decals set for Douglas planes and I have to admit it does its job perfectly 🙂
PS. I need to address that scratch in front of the windscreen, macro is merciless as always 🙂

Hereby I announce it completed 🙂 I hope to take better pics once the sun is back.

I've said it before, but it sure looks purdy! I like the window decals a lot!

Łukasz Gliński
Thanks Thomas 🙂
In fact the decals are mediocre to say the least. Or is it the kit? Anyway the panel line vs decal fit is bad, the main door being one of multiple examples. But if you want to build a short DC-9 in 1/144 there's actually no choice 🙁
The windows on my coonish 737 were much better I have to say 🙂
