Air-Graphics has just announced for IPMS Telford Scale Modelworld 2023 a 1/72nd Boeing E-7 Wedgetail kit based (like the P8 link) on the original Big Plastic Kits B737 model.

Nice, and badly needed, considering procurement for the USAF and RAF is pretty certain!  That also means a shorter-body 737, which has possibilities all its own.  I welcome this development.

Nice. I have the Welsh Models version, so won't be lashing out for this, though. I bought the BPK P-8A at AUD$250 earlier this year - a nice kit but very pricey!

We are now taking advance orders for the BPK Boeing E-7 Wedgetail kit. I have been told we can expect our first delivery towards the end of January.

The set will come with our resin fuselage sleeves.

Our first batch is limited to 20 kits and this is on a first come basis.

Decals will follow which will include RAF, RAAF, Korean and Turkish.

Looks great to me!

Nice! I've got one and a C-40 on the way 👍 Also as "Kenny" said, a 737-700 kit proper is likely on the way as well. Who knows, maybe even a -600 and -900 at some point too. Life is good! Fred K.

or have they sorted out the mould problem and it's not only available in limited quantities?

I suspect they have, otherwise they would not advertise it so unconditionally.  I expect lots of boxes on discount at Moson from a particular Polish entrepreneur, who shall remain nameless.
