Here is another B737 build. I am using the Minicraft kit and set of AA Ex decals from Jamie over at that other local forum.

I used one of Scotty's wheel wells for this one to fill the Minicraft main wheel well void

Engine sink marks filled

Added a couple of fences to the nacelles

Wow, you are really blitzing this, did you only start this since getting back from SYD?

One small point though isn't it a 737-376(SF) or was the middle 3 a typo?

Thanks Graeme, typo fixed, for some reason I had 338 in my head and did not change the whole number.

I started before going to Sydney, been going on it for about a week or so.

I have hit it with some primer and found a few areas to tidy up.

Nice Paul, I like the TNT scheme. I have the Bae146 in this scheme somewhere in the stash.
