Thanks Jerry, Just remember to clip the finger nail before you start your build. The foam is very sensitive,lol... But the plane is a beauty!!

The AL37 shipments arrived a bit sooner than we had projected, but we're happy it was a Black Friday surprise ship-out day for our preorder customers!
We will be publishing the tutorial video showing just how easy it is to install the decals using the molded in corner reference marks. After you all spend an hour applying your Callie Specials on, the window/door decals (three sections per side of the fuselage) take about 5-10 minutes, total. It was a small but important element of designing the decals in a way where they could be quickly and consistently applied in a level fashion, which is why we molded the corner reference marks directly onto the model. Stay tuned, James will post the link in a couple hours.

It looks like the white version without graphics is actually painted white, not just raw white foam? That would be nice! Some of the pictures on this thread look great, especially the Delta livery. Was it painted with Home Depot sample paints or something else? I've used their paint for mat finish planes but never gloss. Any info on paints would be appreciated. Callie didn't waste any time preparing great graphics for this one!

I plan to paint mine with Rustoleum 2X enamel spray paint like I usually use since it is accessible, covers well, sprays nicely in my experience, well priced, and durable. This is used when I need to paint large areas and not intricate detailing, as the airbrush is used for the detailing instead and with water based paint to make for easy clean up.

Hello everyone! It is my first time writing here. I contact you from Spain. I am very happy to hear from you preorders are now on the way (a bit sooner than expected). Here in Europe we usually receive it later (due to shipping I guess). Does anyone know if we’re gonna have ours soon?. I like this plane so much! It seems to fly like a trainer!

Both versions have the fuselages painted and for those applying the decals. Please be sure and press only on the decal and not rub down on the clear covering or at least keep it to a minimum. We don't want you to peel off any paint when removing the clear backing. Be sure to peel it back at an extreme angle as Alpha demonstrates in the video and not straight up. And please peel slowly as you may get some lifting of the decal and you can easily press it back down. Took me about 30 minutes to apply these but I am also very critical of my alignment but the mold lines help keep them straight.
