1/144 Aerolineas Argentinas 737-200 Challenge Build

[hrtpaul]

Not much done as I had to go back to bloody work Anyways the Hertz jet had its windows, doors and seams filled with sprue goo today so might cop some sanding tomorrow. Pics or it didn't happen

[RayS]

Got plenty on the go Paul, I think one for the challenge and a couple of others for the Airliner category will do the trick. I also have a new 737-300 mystery build which will go well for next year's ACAM table

That wouldn't be a QF Freight -300 would it?

Perhaps in a previous scheme

[hrtpaul]

Nice. I wanna do the same aircraft in the QF Freight scheme if the decals ever materialise. If not, there are plenty of -300 schemes out there

I've done a few things differently compared to the Argy one and looks a bit better I reckon

[hrtpaul]

There's been a change of plan due to not being able to get the decals anytime soon for this jet. So this will be the Argy jet and the previous Argy jet is now gonna be an Ethiopian jet.

[hrtpaul]

The Argy jet is coming along nicely. The fuse got it's last coat of gray primer tonight. Now to sort out the engines, wings and tail and get them fitted. I've learnt a lot with this one which will come in handy for the next builds

[hrtpaul]

Finally got the wings and horizontal stabs on so it looks more like a plane now. Fit wasn't too bad with just a bit of putty needed. After this pic, it got hit with a coat of grey primer as did the engines. I've just realised that the bottom of the fuse on this jet looks like it's actually painted grey and not NMF as I first thought. A bit more research but this just made painting a little easier
