GraemeT Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hello everyone My first plane submission here on this forum. This must be the sixth 737 I've built and I'll be happy to never see another one for another six years, unless the livery is ace. Bought this when it came out and has sat in the stash for a few years. Made a good start with it but then made some daft mistakes such as the wing decals the wrong way around; more remarkable I then managed to get the wing wheel struts on the wrong side - never done that before. Some issues with the gold paint late on and one or two of the decals were either too small or broke requiring some additional paintwork. That said I'm happy with how it has turned out; hope the pictures do it justice. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Despite your trials and tribulations Graeme, that's turned out very nicely indeed. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1978 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Cool I built the blue one as first airliner when I re-started modelling again about 6 years ago. It didn't turn out as well as yours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 You have done done a lovely job on that 737, with some 'challenging' decals to deal with. Lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme H Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 First time I have seen that scheme finished, and it can't have been easy looking at the finished product, just a lovely job, what did you use for your engines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conflats Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Graeme That looks fantastic, great scheme too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeT Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 Thanks for the feedback. Alex1978: I also built the GoldbAIR scheme a few years back and didn't feel like it worked out very well either. Graeme H: The engines followed my usual method of steel coloured blades and internal structure. I was so eager to get started on them and used a different yellow paint, rather than wait to make a trip to the model shop for the correct yellow paint. Also quite happy with the Humbrol gloss for varnish across the plane in general. Finally a pencil was run across the pylon panel lines for weathering.
