You are correct its a Dash 8 body from Hobby Craft and wings from a Italeri Osprey 1/72 scale, its a kit bash I built years ago. Would like to have had the gear a little longer so I could have put the engines straight up. Being from Pittsburgh Pa
where Useless Air was a big player till they screwed us royal, and made us a focus city instead of a hub. I was proud to say it was my Airline but no more. Now I love Southwest who now flys into our great airport, and is the number two carrier behind Useless Airways

I believe Postage Stamp/Model Power made a diecast of the Osprey, right guys?

Knockers,
That's one of the best Kit bashes I've seen yet. SouthWest Airlines is a great ahow with all their different logo jets. Shamu is one of my favorites! I think I heard when WP went Chapter11 SouthWest bought the Simpsons 737 Alph
