Nice work mate. You could always drop some small fishing sinkers in through the cockpit and then dump a heap of super glue or woodglue in there. Or drill a hole in the sideto put the sinkers through then plug and sand. It should work as long as the bulkhead behind the cockpit was installed.

To be honest, I can't remember if we did that or not! I'll probably invest in some liquid gravity so I only need a small hole....might even be able to pour it in through the nose gear locating hole.
Edit...good news - the bulkhead's in. And the cockpit window's out, so not an issue.

I've been thinking I might start my 2nd one before the first is even in primer

[Cap'n Wannabe]

I'm thinking about finishing off my -300 (or is it a -400?) in the reverse Virgin scheme..

[hrtpaul]

Don't think. Just do it boy

I'm gonna need another 737 it seems as I found decals for this beasty to add to my Air Nuigini fleet

Got the engines on and the L/H rear door filled today. Pretty pleased with the progress on this one. Infact while I was waiting for stuff to dry on this one I statred the Ryanair Hertz jet. Might get this in primer by the end of the weekend though I do have my little man this weekend so who knows.

While waiting for the Argy jet to dry, I thought I'd start this one. I'm using a newer realease kit for this jet. There are no clear windows apart from the windscreen so I've backed the windows with sheet styrene in preparation for filling. The decals are on the way so I gotta get crackin on this.
This is what it'll look like hopefully.
