Don't recall seeing this posted before, but I may be wrong. Republic of Newfoundland and Labrador
Model 737 Surveiller


I've never heard of M&B before but it wouldn't surprise me if it was a re-pop of the old Nitto 737-200.

Me neither Kit, but they're in the big book.  Canadian company around the early 80's apparently, all their kits were as you guessed, ex-Nitto.  They boxed four 737-200's and a single DC-9-30 all in Canadian airline colours of one sort or another.  BTW, if you're trying to do a search it's Maquettes M&B

The 737s I have are CP Air, Pacific Western Airlines, and I think Nordique, the DC-9 is Air Canada

I'd suppose they were taken from the VEB Plasticart Tu-20 kit in 1:100, a vintage GDR production thing that can be found on ebay. Great stuff for this kind of conversion, they fit well in 1:72.

Or they could have come from the 1/72 XB-35 kit, they look familiar --

The B-35's props are square ended though, at least the ones I have are, whereas the Tu-20 has pointed tips.

If you click on the link in the original posting I think you'll find that the props
Are from the VEB Plasticart Tu-20 :thumbsup:

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

I was wondering if they were Phantom wings with a reduced chord.  :unsure:

They look like some 1/144 airliner wing with an added leading edge to the outer panels.  Where's Kit -- ?  he'll know   :lol:

The wings look the same as in the "Son of PR19" the Kit built. I can't remember the name of the missile that he used but the wings sure look a lot like them.

The wings for the recce X-3 come from the Northrop Snark missile - Monogram 1/48th kit, presumably

I used the smaller scale Snark wings from the Revell kit, I think it's 1/87 or something, but the shape looks pretty well dead on, as CammNut said.
