Hi Richard, Sorry for delayed reply, been away for a couple of weeks with limited wi-fi access. Yes I have still got the 757 sheets available. PM me if you're still interested. Thanks Richard

Hello everyone! This is my first post in this 'Ready for Inspection' forum and is of a Jet2 Boeing 737-800 in 1/144 scale using the Revell model kit plus the Authentic Airliners 737NG Improvement Kit for the engines and winglets. Using advice from the BM forum regarding the Jet2 silver, I have painted the fuselage Tamiya TS-76 Mica Silver and then oversprayed with Tamiya TS-65 Pearl Clear which seems to work pretty well. For the tail, engines and winglets I have used Testers 1103 Gloss Red which seems pretty close to the Jet2 red. As they aren't available in the market as screen printed decals, I have created the Jet2 decal artwork sheet myself from scratch and had them professionally screen printed. Thanks and I hope you like it. Richard

Thanks for the comments Dave, I really do appreciate it and glad you like the decals. Yes apologies regarding the cockpit window, but having test fitted the final screen-printed decal, I found that the angle of the window wasn't quite right, so decided to exclude it. As you say, the cockpit window supplied with the kit decal is very good so I figured it wouldn't be too much of an issue. I will however correct it for any future 738 decals I may produce. As Dave's post confirms, I have now received the Jet2 738 and 757 screen-printed decals from the printer and have a limited number available, so if you're interested in getting hold of either set, please feel free to PM me.

Hi Rich They are being printed by BOA in the Czech Rep. I believe some of the bigger guys use them for their decal screen printing. I have found them really helpful and easy to deal with and their decals are very high quality. Thanks Richard

Hi Jackson, I hope I'm not contravening any forum rules with this as I'm new to the forum, but I wanted to build a 737-800 in the standard silver Jet2 livery myself. With the decal not being available out there I decided to have a go at producing them myself and getting them screen-printed mainly due to the white used in the livery. The decal is at the printers at the moment and I have got a few extra being printed just in case other modellers are interested in the decals too. I've included an image of the decal being printed below - it is quite detailed with different door variations, aircraft registrations, names and the current USPs being used on the fuselages for the current fleet. Similarly I also have the Jet2 757 standard silver livery being printed as I want to build that one too. Just thought I'd let you know in case you're interested - I will post it in the forum once they are ready and available to buy. Cheers Richard
