Minicraft 737-300 1/144 - ex-Jet2 scrap diorama Kemble
Posted: Sat Mar 26, 2016 1:51 amHello all,
I have now completed my 4th airliner, and also done my first ever diorama!
I've modeled former Jet2 G-CELC as it was at Kemble (she no longer exists being cut up last year). Here's the real 737-300

For this I used the ropy Minicraft B737-300 in the American Airlines boxing. which I picked up for about £7 or something. An older kit was ideal really especially at a low price, as half the pieces would just be thrown away anyway!
You can't quite see it in the above picture, but there is a chain link fence and some bushes by the fence, and I recreated this using an N Gauge fence I picked up at the Warley Model Rail show, and some cheap tree's that someone was flogging for 50p. It was bit's of broken off bits so was handy for making a bush and some weeds. First time I've done model gardening!
Here is the completed model!
Constructive criticism is also welcome
