Skymarks / Airfix easyJet Boeing 737-700 G-EZJS Scale 1/130 SKR273

The Skymarks / Airfix easyJet Boeing 737-700 G-EZJS is a rare 1/130 scale snap-fit display model representing an important earlier chapter in easyJet’s fleet history. This release, product code SKR273, depicts Boeing 737-700 G-EZJS, one of the Boeing narrow-body aircraft operated by easyJet before the airline moved fully to Airbus A320-family aircraft. Scalemates identifies SKR273 as a Sky Marks snap-tite Boeing 737-700 easyJet model in 1/130 scale.

The real aircraft, G-EZJS, was a Boeing 737-73V with winglets, construction number 32414 and line number 1214. It first flew on 3 September 2002 and was delivered to easyJet on 23 September 2002. PlaneLogger records the aircraft as leaving the easyJet fleet in 2009, with later service including Europe Airpost, ASL Airlines France and Air Transat.

This model is especially collectable because it represents easyJet’s Boeing era. easyJet later became strongly associated with the Airbus A319, A320, and A321 families, and aviation coverage notes that the airline previously operated Boeing 737-200, 737-300, and 737-700 aircraft before becoming one of the major Airbus A320-family operators.

Produced as a Skymarks snap-fit model and also seen in listings as Skymarks / Airfix, this SKR273 release is a standout piece for collectors of easyJet aircraft, British low-cost airline models, Boeing 737-700 subjects and rare airline display models. Its larger 1/130 scale gives it more shelf presence than standard 1/200 or 1/400 releases, making it an attractive display model as well as a historically interesting easyJet collectible.

Collector Notes

This model represents easyJet Boeing 737-700 G-EZJS, a rare subject from the period before easyJet became known as an all-Airbus A320-family operator. That makes SKR273 far more interesting than a standard easyJet Airbus model, as it captures a fleet type that has since disappeared from the airline’s operations.

For collectors, this is a strong piece for an easyJet timeline display: early Boeing 737 aircraft, later Airbus A319/A320/A321neo aircraft, and modern orange-and-white low-cost airline subjects. The larger 1/130 scale and relative scarcity of the Skymarks / Airfix release also make it a desirable display model for collectors who want something unusual.
