Kingoalie Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 So with my Hobby Lobby 40% off coupon I thought I'd get an Airliner for something different. Well I have always liked the 737, so I picked up the cheapest Minicraft 737. Well the box says its a 737-400 and the decals are for a -400, but the fuselage sprue is marked 737-300!! What to do!? Since this is my first airliner, I don't want a really complecated paintscheme...Any ideas? TIA John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Well British Airways operated the 737-300 as well so you could change the registration. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bugs3144 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Looks like you are in the market for some 737-300 decals. Many available. My Minicraft Delta 400 was also a 300, but then the registry was also a 300 so the box was all wrong. Go to airlinerscafe and click on links. many decal producers there and not expensive either.

jmdmsu Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Last time I went to Hobby Lobby that had all the Minicraft Delta 737-400 kits marked with big yellow stickers saying it was actually a -300 not a -400 as the box said. jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 That problem cropped up last year at the factory. The AF and BA fuselages got swapped, so the BA kits got -300 fuselages while the AF ones got -400 fuselages when it should have been the other way around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hawkeye Australia market some lovely ANSETT 737-300 decals. I used the Sydney Olympics 2000 sheet and the result was most impressive. :o MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 Well I guess I'll just have to find some -300 decals. I've seen some really colorful Southwest decals from Flightpath? or Flightline mayb?? Anyways it seems as if there are many options for me. Sure is a shame that the company mixed up some parts, but ohwell. I think there are more decals for a -300 anyways! Thanks guys! John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
