Ansett Australia Boeing 737-200 "VH-CZO", Melbourne 1995 1/144 Airfix


Luckily this Airfix B737 kit has been re-issued, as I've always wanted to build this -200 version in 1/144 scale. This must be one of their best modern jet kits, as it looks really nice when finished. Of course it is a bit simplified and loosely detailled but as so often with Airfix it somehow catches the essence of the airplane and it's design.

This model was built out-of-the-box, with the sole exception of cockpit decals from a Daco Skyline kit sheet as there weren't any with the original Airfix. Kit decals were otherwise rather basic but very high quality and quite appropriate. Building this model was a real joy, now I'd like to try the New Zealand option from the kit sheet and possibly even one more with some Lufthansa aftermarket decals, perhaps?
