Boeing 737

Laurent "HELLER-forever" thanks$

wilky Just watch out for sudden nose dives by this one.

Daniel Nice!!!

Treehugger I wasn't aware of this, until the very recent jetliner crashes, where I learned that the engines on this jet is larger than the older 737. Also, iirc, the two engines are also moved further up and forwards from the wing.

Ray Seppala Lovely job Rodrigo . Does that scheme come in the kit or did you use aftermarket decals?

Rodrigo Cezar Hi Ray! Thanks! The decals came within the kit!

Christian Bruer Nice and sharp work

Rodrigo Cezar Thanks Christian!! I really like the real plane! Tried to make my best!!

Gary Very nice!! Gary

Håvard Storteig Beatiful! Which colors did you use? I am especially curious for the Leading Edge color

JOHN THOMAS Very nice jet

Lost_Erik Good build of that kit.

Marc Schimmler Hi Andre love to see this one live ....

Jens und eine frohes neues Jahr

Andre Hoencher Thanks Mates! @Hi Ray, I have a couple of airliners, as it is one or the other will follow.
@ Marc: You can see them on 23 January. @ Jens: Wünsche ich Dir auch.

Christian W Sehr schön geworden

Jens ein echtes Schmuckstück , das macht sich bestimmt gut zum Stammi, neben der Pizza wird die 100 % mehr Aufmerksamkeit haben ( auch die Modelle der Kollegen sticht die locker aus ) wirklich gelungen

Andre Hoencher Danke sehr.

Stephan Ryll Sehr schöner Flieger

Andre Hoencher Danke schön.

Christian W A Long time ago Did you complete the kit? What Colors did you take for the plane? It Looks pretty good!

Petr Hlaváček from Ebay

Günther Debiscop Aaahhh the (in)famous Polish 737 :-p

Adam Gudynowski Why infamous?

Ray Seppala Nice scheme, who's decals are you using Adam?

Günther Debiscop Infamous, a lot to do about the purchase of this plane... I follow Polish news

Adam Gudynowski I think there are no decalys yet, but as far as I know polish modellers, there will be a set sooner or later

@Gunther - I've heard sth but didn't investigated details.

Lost_Erik I posted the build elsewhere; ARC. arcforums.com/forums/air/ind..mpleted-1144-sunwing-737-800

Glenn . Hi Peter. Good to see someone else has these decals too! You might be interested in a set of these decals coming soon from Ronin too for a special RAAF 3 squadron 100th Anv scheme Hornet. Looks a bit like the Canadian special Hornet from a little while ago! cheers

Glenn . Here's a great link to ADF aircraft the Wedgetail is here too!
https://images.defence.gov.a..ence%20Imagery/?25=S20162654

Peter Kallenbach Glenn, thanks for the link. I try to check in on that site regularly but it's not been as user friendly recently as it used to be. You gave me a better starting point for some additional searches, so thanks again. As for the 100th Ann, I've been keeping in regular contact with Steve on it and am looking forward to their release. In thinking about it the other day, I realized that I have been doing business with him for close to 25 years now when he still had Hawkeye. For my money, he's one of the best decal makers out there. Now I just need to go get that Welsh Wedgetail kit...Cheers...Peter

Glenn . Yes I've know Steve for a long time too! The Welsh models B737 kits are great very nice resin wings, engines and tail planes etc. Only the fuselage is vac-form and it's fairly thick so it's strong and the resin parts are very clean. I've got a couple of P-8 Poseidon kits too, One for RAAF and one for a USN bird. I know what your saying about the website link! But you can still download some great pics from it. Hey do you know the link for the Canadian air force website? I should give it a look. I've got a few CAF subjects too. I check out The USAF & USN sites quite often for good photos too!

Peter Kallenbach I should; I am a member! Here you go: rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/en/index.page
If there is something specific that you are looking for, let me know as there are some archives that aren't on the open web that I have access to.

Glenn . Thanks Peter! I'll give it a look. Mostly interested in the "special scheme aircraft" it seems the CAF love pretty schemes! so do I

Hugo Oliveira Is there a group build of airliners at scalemates?

Dave Swindell Don't know Hugo, I mainly use Scalemates for stash management, haven't really looked at the model builds. There's an airliner group build on the go over on Britmodeller though...
