woody37 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hi guys. Its been several years since I built a model, kids came along and kept me busy. Anyway I fancy a change from military models which is what I have always done and want to do some bright colours instead after digging all my modelling stuff out. I want to start by doing some planes that I have been on, the 737-200 of which is a few of them. Problem is, without spending **** loads on a model from ebay, I can't find one anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get one or two kits from ? Is there anything other than airfix for the 200 version ? Just bought the minicraft BA 707 and an airfix trident so I will be working on them first, so I'm not in a great rush. Any help appreciated.

GreenDragon Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hi Woody welcome to Britmodeller! Far as I can remember Airfix is the only 1/144th scale 737-200. The Aviation Hobby Shop in West Drayton have them listed at £6-99 if you are in the UK. http://www.tahs.com/ Think there may be some mixed media kits but can't remember for sure. HTH.

Tony is not a e-mail/internet wiz. Good old fashined BT landline is his preferred 'modus operandi' Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I forgot about that Adrian! Can't think how because I've been buying stuff there since 1979, I really should have included that essential bit of info! Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
