I received a Minicraft  1/144  757 UAL model as a gift in 2004. At that very same time I was getting laid off from a regional airline that flies for United; Atlantic Coast Airlines. So I decided not to build the 757 in United colors. A little surfing on http://www.airliners.net and I saw the most beautiful 757 livery and I decided to build it.

The main build was done mainly at work during free time in the course of the last 3 months. My rollaway tool box became a mini hangar for this project. I kept referencing many photos on Anet for the Dutch Bird livery.

Thanks to Tommy C and Dan S for keeping my spirits up during that difficult time.
