It's my first time submitting my article and pics on ARC :-); though I have been scale modeling for many years.  I purchased this Minicraft kit (originally Delta Airlines) on eBay and converted it into a Singapore Airlines (Civil Registration 9V-SVN).  The model is built for a SQ commercial pilot who flies this A/C. 

The kit was constructed with additions of plastic cards cut to form the antenna and spray painted with Gunze and Tamiya paints.  The toughest & time consuming part was sanding and puttying the cockpit/windscreen area :-((  It was finally coated with Gunze Super Clear Coat to seal the decals and paint job.  The completed plane is mounted on a wooden stand with super glue and epoxy and thereafter, 'epoxied' to the base of the display case to make a sturdy and solid display stand.  Decals used were custom made to suit the existing livery and markings of the present SQ 777 fleet.
