I spent a little bit of today working on both my 737s. I'd re-primed my -300 the other day and found a whole lot of areas that needed putty (at one point, I put it through a caustic bath, which I think removed it all..) so I got started on that. I also finished filling in all the windows on my -200.

Now to putty, putty, and more putty!

Good to see Damo. That's 5 in the build so far with another 3 (Paul S, Ray S and Brad) awaiting kits. So who else wants in on the action?

I guess that would depend on which one you're building..

That's a good one Damo, was just looking for suggested sites based on what people have used and trust. I couldn't find much available in Aus retailers.

Hawkeye does a couple of Ansett schemes, ANZ and Air Pacific if they float your Baby Boeing.

I find Airline Hobby very good for this kind of thing. It's where I found the Aeropostal decals I'll be using.

But, as they say in the classics, 'here are two that I made earlier'.

An Ansett New Zealand -100 made using Hawkeye decals:

I have no idea where I got the Air Nauru decals for this -200 from:
