My suggestion:
A white model with a reference-lines scheme.
With this (almost) everyone can do it's own repaint.
I always get into difficulties to keep lining straight at the cones following the central tube (as in most modern airliner models)...
One could even think about a full white lay-out and a full referenced file. The last coul be used as a reference-layer in f.i. PSP.

Basically, fuselage length, wing shape, and vertical stabilizer height:

737 Family

I think the -300 could be lengthened/shortened to make the -400 and -500 variants.

Thank you all for support and understanding!

Yes indeed, B-737-500 is just the same aeroplane with shortened fuselage, and B-737-400 is lengthened one + a tailskid.

That's pretty sweet. It would be even better if the interior were themed too. The lavatories could be like Homers office at the power plant.

Hello!

You reminded me one model which I have seen long time ago...
(Plastic one)
Model Makers—Andrezej Ziober

And here is the interior:
http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/i...i02Junkers.jpg

I am sure the author also made a lavatory (even a paper roll;-)
Everything was made from scratch long time before first sets of 'improvements' for Ju-52 model were on the market!!!

Coming back to B-737, I am not considering the interior this time. Maybe in the future...?

Arrow B-737_Malev

Hello!

I had not much time during the Christmas for B-737, but anyway here is my first go with colours and painting scheme of MALEV.

I checked the decals and masks in 1:144 and textures from flight simulators, but the only convincing source are the photos (HA-LED, HA-LEX, etc.) to get the painting scheme as it is.

I am still a beginner so any comment will be appreciated!
(Sorry I don't know why is this drawing so blurred when attached)

Good Choice! Malev has a great, uncomplicated paint scheme, that you'll have no trouble reproducing. Also they're out of business, so there should be no trademark issues.

That is right Sumato!

By the way, I have seen them three times in Gatwick.
Only one time I managed to make a decent photo by the hole climbing the perimeter fence
Sadly, some months later all Malev gone...

P.S. Guys, can anybody point me any defunct airlines form U.S.A. which were using B-737-300?
I was considering New York Air, but looks like they were integrated into the Continental (United Airlines).
