Topping 1/100 737-200 (early)


Recommended Posts

Just found this, thought you might be interested...

The old manufacturers desk/display model company Topping, which later became Precise, is offering a limited number of their old 737-200 models as unfinished "Blanks".

No decals are included. But it comes with a stand.

Note this is for a very early 200 with short nacelles.

Being a desk model there is no panel detailing or landing gear.

Length of fuselage (to the rearward tip of the vertical stabilizer) is a bit over 12" ...which indicates this is a 200 and not the 6' shorter 100.

I have an original issue in Boeing "house"colors, counting the windows also confirmed it's a 200. 

Vintage Flyers and Draw Decals both offer decal sets in this size...though the shorter nacelles may be a problem if you are trying to build a specific aircraft. 

 

The stand is the correct shape as the original issue, but they were embossed with "Boeing" in their company italicized font, and "737" below it.

If you collect desk models, have a friend who use to fly early 737s, or simply want a large scale build, you might find it interesting.

 

BTW...I'm just a Topping collector, not affiliated with the firm.
