Matcham11 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Hi Britmodeller. Zvezda's sublime 737-800 kit built OOB. As probably mentioned in other threads, this kit includes the correct shaped engines, winglets and correct height for the windows, as compared to the old Revell kits. It goes together really well. Added a wifi antenna. The reason for my choice of this livery, is because I flew this exact plane back in January 17', when I moved from Denmark to Northern Norway. Flew it from Oslo to Tromsø. Painted with Halfords Appliance White, Humbrol and Alclad. The always brilliant decals, are from Ruben, LN Decals. Genereally happy. A few mistakes here and there, but luckily we all keep on learning from our mistakes! Cheers, Robin Here sitting next to my other SAS builds/models. 39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandoned Project Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Lovely B738 there. Rather apt doing a Zvezda kit in the Star Alliance colours. Very nice collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodadriver Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Thanks for sharing your excellent model and collection Robin. The 70th anniversary 738 in the middle looks great - if I remember correctly Ruben leaves you on your own to paint the blue which can't have been easy. I really liked the Zvezda 738 when I built it in Malev livery a few months ago. It's in a different league from the Revell kit which we all struggled with for so long! The 737-700 is every bit as nice - I have one on the bench just now and I hope to get it into the paint shop shortly. Dave G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbofan Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Hi Robin, Nice one and beautifully finished. Which colour did you use for the SAS red? I'm impressed with your fleet I reckon with a bit of juggling you could squeeze a few more in, how about some DC9s or MD80s? Cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hi Robin. We are certainly being treated to some lovely airliner builds here. Another fine model. I noticed you are into gliding as well. I repatriated a Grunau 2b to Denmark to be restored by Niels Ebber of the vintage flying group in Viborg. Chris.

fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 A beautiful model very nicely built! It is a treat to see such gorgeous replicas of contemporary planes. Modern airliners may look simple, but their models are very difficult to build and finish to good standards. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave G Would have loved to say that I had built the 70th anniversery, but I haven't. It's a Gemini Jets 1/200 diecast jet. But yes, I think you are right - the blue needs to be painted on by the looks of it! Not anything that I am competent of doing! Keeping an eye out for the -700! 9 hours ago, Turbofan said: Hi Robin, Nice one and beautifully finished. Which colour did you use for the SAS red?

Primed with Tamiya Grey primer, then a layer of Humbrol 130, and then finally a coat of X339. The white coat is essential to get, what I reckon, is the correct shade. It can probably be done using a white primer, but I only had the grey one laying around. 6 hours ago, stringbag said: Hi Robin. We are certainly being treated to some lovely airliner builds here.

Yes, I've been doing gliding for 9 years. Started when I was 14. Unfourtunately I have som medical trouble at the moment, which has kept me on the ground. A bugger since I almost had my CPL completed. Niels Ebber,... his name rings a bell, but I don't think I have met him. Thats funny - you've more than likely passed right by that place I live.

Viking Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Lovely, and the SAS theme is also my 'thing'. You definitely need to add some MD-80s and 87;s to your collction! Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelter Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Very nice -800 there. Zvezda make some smashing good quality civil birds and I've recently bought one of these -800's myself - Thanks for posting this - its a real beaut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger350Pilot Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Very nice build, Robin. She looks quite sharp. I suppose I’m one of the last yet to build the Zvezda 737...I appreciate everyone’s perspective on them...every one! Yours is nicely done! By the way......what mistakes? Can’t see any.......😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niklas, the blue colour is Xtracolors Enamel X030 RAF Roundel Blue. Fairly good match to SAS' blue. At least for me / Robin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least for me / Robin That's what I thought. 🙂 👍 Trying to get hold of it, but shipping from the U.K. to Sweden is quite expensive, since it's shipped as dangerous goods.. Can you get hold of Xtracolour somewhere locally in Denmark? //Niklas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
