FortyEighter Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I'm in - will need to get another Daco kit at Telford and think about the livery, perhaps Col. Tech? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feoffee2 Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 We are at 26 but as there are so many STGB'S we may struggle to get a slot for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTKC Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Then maybe build 737s for the proposed Boeing GB? (Shameless self-plug) Edited August 19, 2016 by POTKC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTKC Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I've decided that, due to my currently ongoing battle with an Eastern Express 737, I will place my second not-yet-started EE 737 at the back of the stash, perhaps to be discovered by the 23rd century version of Indiana Jones long after my death. Seriously, that thing...is so terrible it could actually be weaponized. Instead I will probably be building a Revell 737-800 in NordStar colors. What variants/airlines are other planning?  (Also a thread bump) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Revell -800 or Minicraft -400Â in some sort of Aussie Airliner guise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootneck Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 This could be interesting and leads nicely into a question I've wanted answers to for a while:Â How many kit producers and variants of the B737 are there, especially those still available, if one wants to get one for this GB?

bootneck Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi Ray,  thanks for this listing. A B737-800 is my choice of build for this.  How is it that this gb is so far away, in 2018 in fact, and yet my next post will probably be: "How is it that this is upon us so soon? I'm not ready yet!"  Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Same thing happened with the Airliner III GB! Â Doing a stock take of B737 kits in the stash at the moment. I have found 7 so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 So does anyone else have any additions to the B737 list of kits that I may have missed in the list above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether I'll use the AA kit or modify an Airfix one will be decided in due course.  Cheers  Dave G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTKC Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Seems Zvezda will be releasing a 737 late (?) this year, just in time for the STGB next year! If it's an -800, that's what I'll use instead of a Revell one of course! Much prefer Zvezda's quality and details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 If it is a 737-800 then that will be good news, I've been looking for one for a while. Any links on that release?  Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did a -500. You will have to chop a -400 to get a -300!   Plus I will throw my hat in the ring with this: Magnicharters 737-300 (1/144 Minicraft) I haven't built anything in years, so I chose something simple.   2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the 737 though as a fairly frequent flyer I am kind of getting sick of being in them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halcyonjet Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Wow! What seemed ages away is now just around the Christmas/New Year corner. I'd love to join in as well, especially as I've got plenty of 737's of different versions and scales in the stash. A quick check of my decal list reveals 80+ still waiting to be used, so it might take me a while to settle on which to pick. Maybe do one I've flown on...  Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Nice you could join us, Dave!  My B737 decal stash has increased by 2 and kit stash by another 2.

I heard about it the day after I'd taped up a Zvezda -800 in preparation for shortening the fuselage. I'm waiting just in case, so I'm on hold for my Cimber Sterling -700. It's not the first time I've started a conversion, only to have a new kit come out. I chopped down a Revell A320 to an A319 when, you guessed it! Likewise chopping an MD-80 to make a MD-87, and now I've got the EE kit.  Dave  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
