On a completely unrelated topic, does anyone have an Airfix 1/144 Boeing 737-200 they're willing to sell me?

Like the evil guy says in "Taken" - "Good Luck".

Unless you stumble upon one somewhere I can tell you I only found one on-line in Australia but I thought it was a bit expensive hence as I wrote above why "pay too much for something you already have?" - just have to solve the "Techo issues" and get down there at some stage and find it. But not a huge priority when you have Personal and Business commitments that take priority.

In the end maybe not that much more work (and definitely more accurate) to backdate a Daco/Skyline 733 especially seeing there a few things to fix up on the Airfix kit and in most cases you have to replace or modify the Airfix engines anyway.

Or instead of all the work back dating another kit, just slap some styrene sheet in the and use a decal. Keep it simple peeps.

Nah mate, Damo just grabbed the last "spare". Depending on what happens with my employment status in the near future though, there may well be the stash sell-off to end all stash sell-offs, in which case there will be 737s a plenty, (as well as many other types), available .....hoping it doesn't get to that though .

Damn you Damo

Damo,
I have had a look in the 1:144 "airliner boneyard" and I can't find a spare 1:144 737-200 windscreen .
All is not lost however, as you can get around this issue by simply internally inserting and using plasticard as a base....

.....and then bogging over and sanding flush, then simply use a decal for the cockpit windows, (if you don't have one let me know and I will see if I have a spare in the decal stash).
