Quote Actually the Continental sheet will have United titles. I can't abide the idea of doing a United sheet right now. Lame excuse for an airline... The Astrojet will feature updates to allow you to do it with winglets, which didn't exist when the sheet was done years ago, plus a few other improvements and updates. |

Thank you! That's super! And, I agree. I miss Continental so much. My last three flights on UAL have been... Meh. I may have to get the Astrojet scheme and then build two versions, an early vision without winglets using the old sheet, and then the new one. Please stop making me spend money!  Bob |

Thanks for the effort and sharing this Jennings. It does indeed look like a near perfect kit. Thanks to your review I'll now know what to be aware of when building this kit, as you have uncovered some very minor inaccuracies. In all honesty I have to say that I am disappointed that there is no cockpit interior. I fully agree that little of it can be seen, but certainly some of it is visible. At least the wall separating the cockipt from the main cabin and two seats would are required, otherwise you look right into the fuselage. Moreover I hate scrathing these... |

Excellent review, thanks for providing the link. Interesting that Boeing licensed the model (and the name, "Boeing" is prominently displayed on the box art), hopefully they have reduced their fees and/or legal restrictions. I look forward to more Boeing product kits with the increased accuracy this kit has.

I have not jumped into the airliners” pool” often but I think it may be time to pull out the Speedo, make a few of the ladies puke 😉, and jump back in. I’ve had a project in mind and if I get the Silhouette Cameo cutter for fathers; Day as requested it should be easy to make the masks I need. A few years back I was flying Southwest and was standing in the cabin door waiting to move inside and looked up to see this plaque…  Though that was pretty cool. Turned out to be “Colorado One”. I immediately bought the Revel-800 then read all that had to be done just to make a good -800, much less convert it to a -700. Now this may happen. Great review too, thanks. Marc |

Quote Great review Jennings. Hopefully we'll see the 600/700 series from Zvezda. Now can't wait for the reappearance of Liveries unlimited 737 decals! Cheers |

Jennings, since you're doing the Astrojet, you might want to look at this: http://airliners.net./photo/American-Airlines/Boeing-737-823/4406559 Hmmm... Hey paint shop, what's wrong with this picture? |

Saw that. Need more/better photos, but I'm sure I can incorporate her into the sheet. Still working on the artwork at the moment. |

I've found a couple of photos of N905NN (the new retrojet) and there are some significant differences between it an the original one. I'll have to evaluate once some more detailed photos start appearing to see if I can realistically include both. The tail logos are completely different for starters...

Yup. That, all of the extra grey, the location of the tail logos and more. On the plus side, at least AAL stayed with a bare metal fuselage, mostly. I can't abide the new AAL scheme with that off-mica grey paint job. Fugly. Here are a couple if you haven't already found them: Interesting way they did the reg numbers on the after fuselage: https://www.flickr.com/photos/124168822@N02/34740992520/ 'Nother: https://twitter.com/flyinghighryan Closeup: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DBj97YRUMAAMUhx.jpg A very interesting and patriotic earlier guise; maybe a dual combo sheet? https://www.flickr.com/photos/fordaveesss/15037164292/ Hope to see this bird if at all possible. Thank you for your hard work on these new decals. Bob |

Not sure to be honest. We're strictly pay as you go with our decal printer, and we have a whopping bill to pay off right now for our new F-106s and US national insignias. We have one other military project ahead of the 737s.
