I've heard stories that this kit is actually a 737-300. Can anyone confirm please?

It's either a -300 or a -400....can't remember which though. If the fuselage length is 253mm, it's a -400, if it's 232mm, it's a -300.

Paul,

The box wrongly states that it's a -400. The instructions and plastic are for a -300.

The easiest way to tell is that a -300 has 1 overwing emergency exit, while the longer -400 has 2 of them.

The same error occurred with the Air France and British Airways boxings.

If that's the case then it'll be perfect for a QF Freight -300. Now i just need someone to do the decals *hint* *hint* :lol: :lol: :lol:
