Hi Guys,
I’ve just got the Zveda B-737 800 in 1:444 and keen on finishing it as the retro roo jet.
Can you guys recommend any decals for the above kit that will work well at all?
Thanks for your help and ideas!!
Cheers,
Brad

They're probably sized for the Revell 737 and not the Zvezda kit. Might pay to ask the question.

I don’t think they will be a problem. When I did the Retro Roo, the cheat lines had a bit of play. I recommend cutting them into more manageable lengths and filling any gaps between slices, if there are any, with the spare decals they provide.

The size of winglets between the Revell and Zvezda kits is markedly different for starters.

Hi Guys,
No worries, I’ll have a hunt around and see if there’s any zveda specific decals.
Cheers,
Brad

You still may be able to use the Revell specific decals on the Zvezda kit, I just would assume they'll fit 100%

I had to extend the winglets when I did mine, I think... ... and they were painted, not decalled, so no big dramas.

I have Retro Roo 2 to do here too, this time using the Zvezda kit, so I'll let you know how they go.
