I saw these decals and had to grab them - I like the interesting liveries for my airliners. I picked up the kit on ebay for a good price

Image

Image

Assembly was going great - started decaling and noticed the fair lady on the tail wasn't quite fitting... DOH!

Image

Her skirt doesn't wrap all the way around... well at least it's on the bottom and I'll try and close that up - matching that color though...

Image

Otherwise looking pretty good so far, little more touch up and paint

Image

Image

Maybe wrap it up this comming weekend if I can match the color of her skirt... or just leave it open - we'll see.

That's certainly an interesting livery I agree, it looks really good though!

What's the issue with the Minicraft kit - is the fuselage too large in diameter?

That is awesome! You've done an exceptional job getting those decals to lay down. My opinion: just leave the underside alone. It's not like it'll be readily seen when the plane is standing on it's landing gear.

Thanks all - definitely leaning towards the underside as is.

Very nice! I want to do a 737 with Southwest Airlines markings.

Bro, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this song came on shuffle the same moment I clicked the link for this build log:

I’m supporting this project 110% buddy! I’d get all kinds of Brett Michaels or maybe even go full David Lee Roth while mile-high in one of those sweet babies. NIIIIIICE!!!
