Here's the start of the BPK 1/72 B737-200C...She will be Alaska Airlines with all the goods hanging out...even gravel kit!
Thanks,
Brad
Brad,
Looking good. Clear cockpit and decals for cabin windows? Which decalas are you planning to use?
Did you have a step between the forward fuselage clear piece and the main fuselage parts when test fitting? After test fitting mine, it looks like the main fuselage needs to be narrowed at the forward end ever so slightly to ensure a good join with the clear nose piece. In addition, the fuselage halve mating surfaces look like they could use a few passes over sandpaper prior to joining due to mold irregularities/soft edges.

Hi,
I'm thinking of having the F-Decal Alaska re-sized to fit. I will use window decals for passenger windows...If the clear turns out bad for cockpit I will use decals there too.
Yes, thier is some tweaking to make things fit well...Here is a first coat of primer and another dip in the putty for the forward section of the fuselage.

Looking very nice. That profile shot in primer shows that they did a pretty good job on the Boeing profile. I still think the tip of the nose is a bit too pointy, even after seeing yours in primer, but that is an easy thing to knock down a bit.
I can't wait to see how this looks with your standard treatment!
WOW! You're gonna modify the nose? Can't wait to see!!!
The BPK kit comes with a complete gravel kit, including the modifed nose gear doors, nose and main gravel deflectors, nose deflector fairing and engine vortex dissipators.

Very, very nice. Is that the stock engine nacelle on the front end, or did you modify the intake lip? It looks better than what's in the box (has a thicker edge).

Hi,
I blunt the front of engine intake some. Also added some filler on the inside too.

Is this a commission build, or will you retain it for yourself? I want to see this sucka when it goes on the Brad Shinn World Tour. Brad ranks way up on the best builder list. Later, Doug

I've said it before,that's as good as a model gets. A scaled down version of the real thing. Experience of course is a factor,but I also believe you are born with this talent.
