I collect both airliner and aerospace models but I am not very successful finding models to fill the gap between the two groups. When I came across a solid resin blank Boeing 737-100 in 1/50 scale it was a easy choice to restore it into NASA 515.

The wings were for a 737-300 so some modifications were necessary for correct fit and dimensions. Engines were two left hand ones so one needed reposition of the thrust reversers as well, Decals and compressor-blades also had to be made.

Only thing needed now is a nicer stand and wing escape walkway markings.
