- HISTORY ASPECTS:
- The Boeing 737-800, bearing the registration number N842SY, holds a special place in aviation history, adorned with the 40 Years of Flight livery of Sun Country Airlines. This aircraft signifies four decades of Sun Country's commitment to providing passengers with exceptional service and memorable travel experiences.
- Sun Country Airlines, headquartered in Minnesota, began its operations in 1983. Over the years, it has carved a niche for itself with its dedication to delivering comfortable and affordable flights to a wide range of destinations, from sunny leisure spots to bustling urban hubs. This special 737-800, with its eye-catching 40 Years of Flight livery, serves as a flying testament to the airline's long and successful journey in the aviation industry.
- In the early 1990s, Boeing designed an aircraft that would replace older models of its popular 737 jetliner. On June 29, 1993, Boeing launched the 737-X program after receiving an order from Southwest Airlines for 63 aircraft. This program launch resulted in the birth of the 737 Next Generation (737NG) family of aircraft and included four different 737 variants: the –600, -700, -800 and –900. The Next Generation 737s have larger wings, more powerful engines, and can fly longer range routes with higher payloads than older 737 model aircraft.
- The 737-700 was the first 737 variant to enter production, and the first delivery was made to Southwest in December 1997. On September 5, 1994, the 737-800 was launched, and the first aircraft was delivered to Hapag-Lloyd of Germany in the spring of 1998. The 737–800 is a longer version of the 737–700 and can carry up to 189 passengers in single class accommodation.
- SAS became the launch customer of the 737-600, the smallest of the Next Generation family, with seating for 110 to 132 passengers. The first aircraft was delivered to SAS in the third quarter of 1998. The 737-900 is the longest version of the 737NG family and was launched on November 10, 1997, with an order from Alaska Airlines. Boeing subsequently introduced the 737-900ER, which offers greater range and a higher payload capacity than the 737-900.
- The livery on this aircraft encapsulates the spirit of celebration, with striking graphics that acknowledge Sun Country's 40 years of service. It's not just an aircraft; it's a flying tribute to the dedication and loyalty of both the airline and its passengers. This special Boeing 737-800 model brings this remarkable piece of aviation history to your collection, a testament to Sun Country's 40 years of connecting people to the places they love.
- Whether you're a devoted aviation enthusiast or simply looking to commemorate a piece of Sun Country's legacy, this 1:400 scale model is a must-have addition to your collection, a representation of the airline's commitment to affordable and memorable travel experiences over the years.

Questions, Answered Honestly.
A model kit comes unassembled on plastic sprues (the frames that hold the parts). You cut, glue, and paint the pieces yourself, it's a hands-on building experience that can take anywhere from a few hours to several evenings. A diecast car is a pre-built, pre-painted metal collectible ready for display straight out of the box. Both are scaled replicas, but kits are for builders who enjoy the process, and diecast is for collectors who want a finished showpiece.
Scale is the size ratio compared to the real vehicle:
1:12 — About 14". Museum-level detail, large display piece.
1:18 — About 10". Most popular collector scale. Often features opening doors, hood, and trunk.
1:24 / 1:25 — About 7". Most popular kit-building scale. Great balance of detail and size.
1:32 / 1:43 — About 4–5". Compact, ideal for larger collections.
1:64 — Hot Wheels size. Perfect for collecting by the dozens.
1:87 — Smallest. Typically used with model train layouts.
Choose based on your display space, detail preference, and whether you're building a collection or a single showcase piece.
Start with a snap-together kit, no glue or paint required. Revell and AMT both make great beginner kits in 1:25 scale, rated skill level 1 or 2. Pick a car you love, that motivation makes the build more enjoyable. Once you're comfortable, move to a cement-assembly kit with basic paint. We carry beginner kits starting under $20. Check our Beginner's Guide for step-by-step recommendations including your first tools, paints, and techniques.
It depends on the kit and your preference:
- Acrylic (water-based) — Beginner-friendly, easy cleanup, low odor. Tamiya and Vallejo are popular choices.
- Enamel — Smoother finish, longer drying time, requires mineral spirits. Testors is the classic choice for Revell kits.
- Lacquer — Dries fastest, hardest finish, requires good ventilation. Tamiya TS spray cans are lacquer-based.
Important: Don't mix paint types on the same surface without a primer coat between them. Every paint listing on our site clearly shows the type and compatible brands.
Skill levels help you choose the right kit:
Level 1 — Snap-together, no glue or paint needed. Great for kids and absolute beginners.
Level 2 — Simple glue assembly, minimal painting.
Level 3 (Intermediate) — Standard cement assembly with painting. Most kits fall here.
Level 4 & 5 (Advanced) — Complex builds with many parts and detailed painting. For experienced modelers.
We display the skill level on every kit listing, so you can make an informed choice.
