No, I think it's because the type of paint used to create that finish doesn't scale well to a model. The particles themselves are the same size regardless of what the paint is applied to.

Yes, but Northwest or Republic would have been even better.

Indeed. For some of us in here, Jesus Christ is our God, our Lord and Savior! The Name above all names.

We could look into that after we get all the other customs that are needed.

The surface quality is so much better on the 707 and 757... I wish we'd had them do the 727 instead of getting the one from eBay. The 727 was very obviously painted using a brush.
