Hello everyone,
This is my first building report on this forum. I am building the standard Revell Boeing 737-800, but with the quite extraordinary 'Flying 101' paint scheme from Kulula, a South African airline.
I will fill and remove the panel lines on the fuselage as an experiment to see if that looks good, and maybe I will draw some of them back on with a pencil after painting. I'll leave the lines on the wings as they are, though.
The winglets in Revell's kit are horrible, but I have not used aftermarket replacements. I simply made them a bit slimmer and didn't heighten them.
I am also aware that the cabin windows are molded too low on the fuselage, but I like to leave the windows open instead of filling them so I'll just have to accept that.
Now for my work so far:
With a few layers of primer... I think I'll do it again with grey primer to get an even colour, and then with white again.
I put some pieces of stretched sprue in the back of the engine to make it a bit less empty and monotone.
And I also filed the fins on the sides of the engine to make them thinner
