Greetings,
Recently, I decided to "flap" one of the new Revell 737-800 kits, but seeing as how I haven't done that before, I thought I'd better practice a little bit first. I've had an old Airfix Boeing 737-200 in my stash for a while and figured that would be a good subject to hone a technique on. Once I got it started,
I realized I had one of the ATP Piedmont Airline decal sheets, so the "practice" subject has turned into my currect project. After this, the -800 should be a snap!
Here's my progress thus far......

Here you can see the difference sanding the nose makes!
732const6
Cut out Landing Light position
732const9
732const10
nav light lense
Nav Ligtht lens
detailing 1
Starting to detail the LE Flap bays
foil start 1
Getting the foil pieces squared away
foil start 2
The first 4 pieces are applied
Here's a couple update pictures of the just finished foil application and the engine pylon.
foil applied
foil workup
The fore section has *7* pieces of foil, and the aft has *11*. I still have to clean up the edges but the hard part's already done! It took a total of 9 hours (and a stab wound... I'll explain later) to apply all the foil! :blink:
engine pylon
Here's one of the engine pylons... like it?
Take care,
Frank
