NG models Alaska Airlines 737-800 in a Star Wars livery (I definitely didn't use 600mm lens to try to take pictures of this thing)View attachment 7753

Nice! Great model, I know you have been looking forward to it!

Came in yesterday! The BAe 146 is a GJ and is also a tail sitter, the 734 is also a GJ and also a tail sitter and the UAL 763 is also a GJ and maybe my favorite out of the 3.
And I got additional photo's of the BAe 146 along with the 763 in the background.

Nice! The chrome on the BAE and 737 looks epic. As does the Saul Bass.

Interesting... I have the same 734 and it sits just fine.

Maybe the landing gear is fitted a bit off, or, considering it was a 2004 release, 'the rot' might have gotten the landing gear.

I was thinking it could be the landing gear isn't fitted quite right.

Most likely. Usually it likes to sit when I bump I bump my table a bit since my airport is undergoing some renovations. Also does your version shine like normal chrome liveries?

Yeah the chrome on the 737 would had looked epic if it didn't have dots all over it but pretty happy with it nonetheless.

Yes, it does shine, but I opted for the "real metal" over the chrome version.

Oh thought they were the same. Anyways I think mine maybe has zinc rot since it doesn't shine much and has a lot of dots on it.

Send a picture in the Zinc rot thread, there are lots of people there who can help you out.

Yours could be the real metal also...sometimes they lose their shine over time.

 

[OscarBravo992]

Yours could be the real metal also...sometimes they lose their shine over time.

I thought so too, but the bubbling sounds like 'rot.

Yeah could be.

I thought so too, but the bubbling sounds like 'rot.

I'll probably take a closer look at it but it doesn't bother me too much anyway.
