So cool. I originally wanted to do a Disney themed 737 but the whole thing was too daunting for me so I just did the "plain" WestJet version.

Hi all,
I have the white version in my hangar to make my own sheme. Now I noticed, that the window Decals were changed. Behind the windows is a white strip. The old Decal version was better, because the windows were without a white colorstrip behind them. Someone an idea, where to get the old windows?

I can't visualize what you mean by this "white stripe". Can you post a picture? Since the white stripe is behind the windows and the background is also white, can't you just cut them out?

[Jetfrank]

Have a look......

[f4u ausie]

I recently tried to cut them out.. not easy. So into the bin.. will do something else.. I at first fitted them. But it looked like crap. Pulled them off. More paint req now.. oh well

[xviper]

I see now. Does the white "stripe" blend in with the white of the plane? I'm not sure where you can get the "old" windows decal. Perhaps you can get them from Callie Graphics. I remember when I bought my WestJet decals from Callie, they came with a duplicate set of windows. Perhaps she can sell you just the window decals.
Other than this, I can only see carefully cutting out all the windows and doors and using the rest of the decal as a template for spacing.

[f4u ausie]

Mine being red. Really. Really really. Looked horrible I'm sure a local vinal cutter can also do it. I'm going to the hard ware store to get a oval shaped punch

[xviper]

I just had a close up inspection of my WestJet AL-37 where the windows and doors are. These were the original decals that came with the model AND the ones that were sent from Callie are the same - NO white "stripe", just the windows and doors by themselves. I can't remember which ones I used on the model but I still have a complete set of the windows and doors. If shipping wasn't so horrendous to Europe, I'd just throw them in a large mailing tube and send them to you (I'll never need them). I think Callie can send them much cheaper as she uses some kind of bulk mailing.

[Jetfrank]

Thanks for your offer......! Up to now, the decision has not yet been made, which sheme I prefer. But I am sure it was a great promotion for freewing in the past, that you could use the old windows for every livery. This development has been terminated. To cut out the windows is no option for me.......

Hello Gents. Just embarking on a P8 Poseidon conversion of my new AL37. I've found all the 3D print parts for the work, except - where did you guys get your AGM84D harpoons from (wing mounted missiles) and at what scale?

I've seen a few on Cults and Thingiverse but they're designed for smaller plastic kits.

TIA
Nick
