Really, wow!

90,000 cycles later, I guess it had its share of passengers.

Heck of a testamant to the 737's design, though.

The last 15 minutes of that flight must have been pretty horrible.

Thanks GMorrison. That's The Plane.

Yea I like those air crash investigation shows

When I lived in Hawaii, I remember riding in that particular airplane; it was called the Queen Lilioukalani. By the time the fuselage chunk came off, I had long since moved back to the Mainland, but I remember seeing the name on the damaged plane in the papers.

Doesn't exactly give you the feeling of security seeing a plane you rode in turn into a convertible.

I don't see the the point in making seats for an airliner.  They couldn't be seen, once you close up the fuselage.

Depends on the subject and the scale. I am doing a Beech D-18 in 1:48 right now.  Big windows, seats are quite visible, but at least kit furnishes seats.  In 1:72 it depends on the subject.  If the kit includes transparencies and the windows are big, I like to put something in there, though my scratch seats are pretty simple.  I use styrene angle stock, cut seat rows, and mount on rectangular stock bases.

I would like to see more of a selection of aftermarket seats.

I recently built the airliner version of the Ju-52 from Eduard and bought their PE accessory package which includes cockpit and cabin seats.  They were beautiful!  Hard to see, but those little hard to see details add a lot.

I think it's safe to assume he was referring to the larger, smaller window airliners; smaller scaled as well...

Gents, you need to go back and read the OP.

He's building this airplane...

The logo on the tail has been blanked out. The one on the fuselage is, umm, missing.

Sadly the one flight attendant did lose her life.

Scale Airline passenger seats
Posted by greentracker98 on Tuesday, March 17, 2015 2:30 PM

Would anyone know where I could get the passenger seats for a scale 737? I want to join the Boeing build, On the other hand, does anyone even make them? I would also need decals for an older Aloha Airlines. If anyone is curious, It's for Aloha Flight 243, The one where part of the roof broke off in flight.

Thanks
