[@brandondrescher2182]

Very nice build and livery. Man that kit required a lot of putty. Glad I wasn't playing a drinking game every time you said putty I wouldn't have made it to the end.

[@airlinersmodelmania]

Ha ha ha ! Glade you enjoyed the build, and yess so much Putty ;-)

Really nice touch to build this pretty airliner. The MD-11 is my favourite aircraft.

[@airlinersmodelmania]

Thank you , it is a really nice aircraft indeed

[@flugwuzzi]

Nice, another interesting airliner video from your workbench. The MD-11 is such a beautiful airliner.
A lot of filling, sanding, scribing and fiddling around ist needed for this Mikro Mir kit. Glad you could fix the mishap with the front landing gear.
Nice trick printing out your own panels for the cockpit. That came out really nice.
In the end your model looks really beautiful in the Santa claus livery. Very well done and thanks a lot for sharing your builds.

[@airlinersmodelmania]

Thank you for comment, I have to say that I always look forward to read them ;-) I have to say that with those new kits detailing the cockpit it worth the extra work to build them and use masking tape for the window. I really enjoy those result.

[@philippebozzoli238]

Great build, I always loved the MD11, any chance for you to build a DC10 at some point .

[@airlinersmodelmania]

Love the DC-10 too, I will have some to restore in the future, and also I want to compare both kits Eastern Express and Airfix

[@patrickmaritano3802]

Belle réalisation mais pas de vernis pas de polissage ? Je vais tenter ça

[@airlinersmodelmania]

Hônètement je faits cela depuis toujours et ça marche bien ;-)

[@rlabiche]

nice work may I ask how you detail the blades when you have the engine close d up

[@airlinersmodelmania]

Thank you, normally I will start to paint the fan disk first then when I close the engine, I will close the inside gap with modeling paste then hand paint the intake. Then I will mask with Tamya tape until the Engine anti Ice. If the engine is in 1 part, I stat to paint the the intake, then the disk, and close the engine to paint the anti-ice.
I hope this helps 😉

[@rlabiche]

@@airlinersmodelmania that is what I thought you would do but you didn't in the way you mention

[@rlabiche]

you forgot to paint the fan disk in this build

[@airlinersmodelmania]
