BritJet Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Zvezda 737-800 straight from the box but with 26 Ryan Air decals. Flew on this to Lanzarote in 2019 - remember when we could do things like that? Steve 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Don't worry we will be cramming ourselves into low cost airlines soon enough. Great model of the ubiquitous 737 and equally ubiquitous Ryanair. The airline we love to hate although not once have I had a bad experience with them. I even got to ride on the flight deck once, pre 9/11 of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatFlyHalf Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 You flew on Ryan Air? I'd have sooner walked. Nice model by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I was wondering how this looked straight from the box. This looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritJet Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Thanks for the kind comments. It is a lovely kit and the 26 decals worked well. 7 hours ago, noelh said: Don't worry we will be cramming ourselves into low cost airlines soon enough.

First time flying with Ryan Air and despite expecting problems everything went smoothly. Visits to the flight deck takes me back a bit...... 5 hours ago, FatFlyHalf said: You flew on Ryan Air?

That was my feeling before we went after hearing so many bad stories but they were fine for us, a big puddle to walk through to get to Lanzarote put me off that option! Cheers.

Vesa Jussila Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Nice model. And when you think that Ryanair is just different bus company it will not cause disappointment. Service is not in business plan in that company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritJet Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Thanks, I tend to think of all airlines in the same way as a bus company so it's a bonus when nothing goes wrong. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Nice looking 737, I do think that the Ryanair livery is quite smart. I have the Revell boxing with these decals, must get it out and build it sometime! Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked for a Revell one without any luck and had to wait for the 26 decals to be re-printed. Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) The Revell 737 800 has a few flaws. Too short winglets and the wrong engine intakes to name but two. The zvezda kit is better. Edited November 16, 2020 by noelh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Very nice indeed! Reminds me that BPK were tooling up to issue a 737-800 in 1/72 scale but I have lost touch with their progress on the kit. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giorgio N Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Nice model, well done! And sure brings back memories of a happier time when we could fly around Europe at will. Even if it was with Ryanair... that may have not been the company offering the best cabin service but they never failed to bring me from A to B in time, something that can't be said of other airlines with a much higher profile.. And IMHO a very elegant livery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
