G'day folks..
I've just bought a 1/72 737 BBJ, and I'm wondering how much work to convert it to -700 or -800?

G'day Damo,
Is it the Welsh kit???
There should be no difficulty at all in converting any BBJ to a "standard" 737-700 as the BBJ is in effect just a 737-700 airframe with a fancy paint job, long range tanks, and customized VIP interior. "BBJ" was/is a marketing name as opposed to a specific aircraft type or sub-variant of 737. For marketing purposes "BBJ" is now even informally applied to a VIP/ Biz jet configured 747-8, 777, or even 787-8/9.
