Boeing 737-700 Continental Airlines 1/200 Scale Model by Flight Miniatures

$ 22.99

1:200 Scale  Plastic Snap-Fit – Boeing 737-700 – Length:6.25"  Wingspan: 6.75"

These models from Flight Miniatures are made of plastic and don't need any glue or paints. The assembly is very basic and takes only a few minutes. Assembly consists of nothing more than attaching the wings to the fuselage and then attaching the tail and elevators. Special care has to be taken while attaching the wings since the fitting in these models is quite tight and some pressure needs to be applied. The pressure needs to be applied on the wings and onto the fuselage. Do not, for example, hold the wings from the engines and apply force like that since this will damage and/or break the engine.

 

The level of detail is very nice and accurate. Wings will show the different panels and sections just as the real thing. The coloring and markings are not decals, so they won't peel off. For the people who are really observant, engines are accurately proportioned and the type of engine is also accurately represented. These type of models are the type which one can see in airline offices and/or at travel agents (when they were still around).

 

These are not toys, they are not intended to be played with since they are very fragile. However, the constructions is so simply and because they have no moving parts, that casual "flying" (and making noises) will be fine, even if done by a child.

 

The box measures 8 inches long by 2.5 inches high by 1.2.5 deep

Please note that this is a collector model and is not recommended for children under 8.

The 737-700 was the first of Next Generation series when launch customer Southwest Airlines ordered the variant in November 1993. The variant was based on the 737-300 and entered service in 1998.[114] It replaced the 737-300 in Boeing's lineup, and its direct competitor is the A319. It seats 126 passengers in a typical two-class layout or up to 149 in all economy configuration.[115] Boeing launched the 737-700ER on January 30, 2006.[116] All Nippon Airways was the launch customer, with the first one delivered on February 16, 2007. The 737-700ER is a mainline passenger version of the BBJ1 and 737-700IGW. It combines the 737-700 fuselage with the wings and landing gear of a 737-800. It offers a range of 5,510 nautical miles (10,205 kilometers), with seating for 126 passengers in a traditional 2-class configuration.[117] A competitor to this model would be the A319LR. The 700ER has the longest range for a 737.
