 AWWW its a cute little feller; you almost forget the legacy 737 was so short compared to the NG and on.

Seriously though, nice job of building; Quite looks the part.

Wow, I never realized Aurora even made any airliners.  Nice build.

Oh yes, they made 737, 727, and probably DC-10 (not sure). They are very basic kits, but only game in town in 60s and 70s. I loved the fact that this was 1/72. Btw, both parents were born in Alexandria area.

Yes, Aurora made a lot of 1/144 airliners in the early days.  On the side panel of the box for their old DC-10 I recently built, they listed about a dozen models.  Some of them were repeats, with only different markings, for example,  the DC-10 was available in both United and National Airlines livery.  Interesting to note that my United ship had the instructions for the National DC-10 in the box- and it was still factory sealed.  Somebody not paying attention at the factory, I guess.

Nice build!

I had that kit but had an opportunity for a Doyusha 1/100 L-1011 so I sold it. Guy accepted my offer but never responded so no luck and no 737.
