Strangeways Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) The old Airfix kit finished in the markings of Honduran airline 'SAHSA", which had such a poor safety record that someone dubbed the airline's name an acronym for 'Stay At Home, Stay Alive'. All of the kit's windows were filled and replaced with decals, the model was re-scribed, u/c doors replaced and Bra.Z resin engines substituted for the skinny kit ones. The swooshy scheme was masked and painted, decals were ALPS-printed. Edited August 10, 2017 by Strangeways Dead Photobucket lynx 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Edmundson Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Nice and clean build. I sure like the old Airfix B737 kit, I've got a few in the stash and a few more sets of the Braz engines as well. You did a fine job on that !!!!!!

MikeW Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 My favourite kit overall - in large part due to the almost unlimited number of liveries out there. That is some seriously awesome masking and painting ( photography none too shabby either ) and the panel line details are just about perfect. In case I haven't made myself clear, I like this one a lot! Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLC1966 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Great model, I need to check my books but I am sure that HR-SHO was into Belize regularly during my times there. Quality that you Picked up on the acronym SAHSA - Stay at Home Stay Alive, would also love to see a kit of the other main 737 uder in Belize, TACA - Take A Chance Airlines.
