I present my Zvezda ‘Thomson’ B737-800 G-FDZA in her livery prior to the TUI respray and in a Cold/Dark state on Stand 110 ready to take Skiers away later to GNB. The build was done OOB, with after market decals from Greg at DrawDecal. The kit itself is great, and I find it goes together really well without the need for a lot of filling. I quite like this scheme and have had the decals for over a year, but always been to scared to make it for fear of getting it wrong. I opted for the scimitar winglets, I wish I had added them later though, as I often kept breaking off the lower section during decaling 😩, lesson learnt though. This was also my very first attempt at weathering, and taking some advice from fellow modellers, opted for a little is best approach as generally Airliners don’t tend to get too dirty... I used a HB pencil and simply dragged back using my finger to create the grim effect marks that often appear on the wings and the moving parts thereof. I quite like the effect, but please feel free to help me with any other tips 😃. The masking was was a task in itself, and I hope I have done it some justice. The fuselage blue was my own mix of Revells Aqua colours 50 and 04. The dark blue is Revell 54 and the light blue on the tail and winglets is Humbrol 47. Fuselage is Halfords appliance white, and the wings and stabilisers are Halfords Racking grey with silver leading edges. The kit was brush painted as I still can’t get the hang of airbrushing (one day 😂). I had to paint the landing lights (no decal provided) and pitot tubes by hand as well, so please don’t look too closely 😬. Please also don’t judge my homemade baseplate 😬, it’s not great I know but I think it will help with the overall presentation... Thank you for looking and as always any feedback and comments are welcome 😃, Regards, Alistair

Flew on this to Spain a couple of years ago and came back on a 757. Revell kit with corrected engines and winglets, Draw Decal markings for most of the scheme and my own Thomson titles as nobody else does them. Steve

Hi, Flew on this last year coming back from Spain, outbound was a 737-800. Minicraft kit with the angle of the engine pylons adjusted and Draw Decal Thomson markings. Metal winglets from a modeller on here which I broke off the wing several times! I've not altered the kit's dodgy nose shape as this was just a quick build for me in between other things. Comments welcome..... Thanks for looking. Steve
