I have been thinking of doing a model of the MD-90. I was wondering if anyone can advise me on weather it would be better to purchase the Braz MD-90 tail , engine , and plug conversion , or purchase the Welsh MD-90 kit. If the kit is the way to go does anyone know if it has the pointed trailing edge flap fairings , which are different from the MD-80 fairings , and also the intake scoop on the fwd right side of the fuselage for avionics and inverter cooling. I really want to do two of these birds , and I have quite a few MD-80 kits I can use to convert to the 90.
Anyone's help and advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Roswell

Ditto!

Another vote for the conversion. I have it, and will be using it soon. The fairings and the inlets aren't that difficult to modify or create, and the pleasure of building the Minicraft MD-80 as your base kit makes it even better.

My plan is the conversion if I ever quit working on prop-liners.I will do two Minicraft kits,one with the Braz engines and tail,but use the second kit for the fuselage extension.The donor kit will be converted to a MD87 again using the Braz vertical fin.

Whatever happened to that can do spirit ?
I say go for the Welsh kit ,anyone can build a mc kit so go for a challenge that way you can look in the mirror and say to yourself -who's the Welsh builder now"

But the MD-90 looked best in Delta Widget colors in MY opinion!

I agree, and have that on my "to do list" or is it a bucket list? And now that I think about it, any modern airliner looked best in the Widget colors!
