I have been a fan of airliners for a long time.  I only built mainly military aircraft until Minicraft began releasing their range of jet airliners.  This 737 kit was the first airliner model I have completed.  Since then my collection has grown a little :-)....

The kit went together with little trouble, I added anti-collision beacons and card antenna, I was not aware that a tail bumper was required until well after finishing the model, will have to include it on the next -400 I build.

I finished the model in Gunze paints and used the Liveries Unlimited/Airway Graphics decal sheet.  I also used Testors metaliser on the engine intake lip and wing and stab leading edges.  A final coat of future was given to seal the decals and paint work.
