Great job done there.
Scratch built tug? If you had not said it I would have thought it was a kit!
I must admit, with your liking of Russian aircraft I was surprised that you did not do an Aeroflot liner....
Next time o_O ?

Cheers Ian , yes there are some lovely kits being released by zvezda lately of soviet airliners so i think we'll definitely see one of those sometime too! cheers tony
 
Fantastic work on this Tony, and I really like the scratch built tug and base.
 
Beautiful result Tony. Great base and tug too, they really bring your finished 737 to life. It's fantastic that you are able to match the aircraft to your memorable trip!

Thanks everyone it was a real labour of love as its such a great memory - even though it was a 1970's package holiday and nothing extraordinary it just seemed so amazing to a 13 year old who loved aircraft. I even loved the in flight meal - potato croquettes , sausage and beans i think !!!!
 
Totally splendid. I'm not really into civil aircraft, but this just looks the part. Nice one.
 
Looks great Tony and you did an amazing job on the tug well done mate.
Just one thing your missing the under arm donkey. ;););)
