Here is my review of the O-Scale Boeing 737-800 fuselage kit available to purchase at printedatscale.com
Enjoy!

Thank you. 
Mike CT.
Glad you all enjoyed it. Its a very impressive item.

That is neat. I'm thinking about getting the 737-100 kit. Little shorter and perfect for my layout. Thanks for posting the website.
I have the K-Line 2-piece set (and a 3rd item - the BN Boeing Airplane Parts Car) but the fuselage isn't painted. 
figures I would just learn of this after I bought the K-Line one. Do they offer kits for the loads that go with the fuselage so you can do the whole train?

@sinclair - WHat do you mean by "the whole train"?
As far as I know there's only the 2-piece K-Line set (K691-1172A) and a separately sold BN Boeing Airplane Parts Car (K691-1152).
Nice. Looks like this was made with a Formlabs 2 or 3 printer.
It would have been nicer if the seller removed the build supports before sending because there's a lesser change damaging the parts than if removed by the buyer.
If I had a nice model I'd try making one myself.
Its a decent kit.
But from working on 737 Line. I see a lot of details that lack. They basically copied the N scale Micro Trains 737 Fuselage cars they released a few years ago then blew it up to 1:48th. I know because I have 4 of them. With resin printing they could have captured way more detail around the wing box and the body to wing fairing structure we call the "birdcage" along with other smaller parts on the fuselage. I'm hoping Scott can bring this to table at some point soon being a av nut like me. More than train people would enjoy a model of this.

I'm sure a more detailed model could be achieved but not at this price point. This kit is a great value for the money.

Your right. They could have done a nicer job of the interior at the open doors and much greater depressions for each window. this would have given a better 3D hollow effect.
However, this is a major 3D printing as each of the sections takes 12 to 18 hours to print.
See the photos below of a large model printed on a FormLabs 3L printer ($10,000 printer). the model was printed in 2 parts.
The photos' are from the Formlabs Community Forum. Credited to AllOnScale.
HERE is a " Quick model to show All iN Scale's capabilities on naval models. Nice model available on GrabCAD and designed by Hans de Ridder. Easily fitted all 43cm into the Form3L. Only the propeller and periscope where printed separately on the Form3.
1:48? I do not think so. Nice? Sure.
Find a true 1:48 figure (don't trust the packaging; just compare it to the track and/or car - better yet, use your regular ruler to see if it's about 6' tall - that is, 1 1/2 inches), then compare it to the fuselage and windows. Looks to me that the figure would be Giganto. But, I'm not in the room with it.

There are 3 K-line cars. Just got mine, here they are.
Left to right is K691-1173, K691-1172, and K691-1152. When I said whole train, I was meaning the containers on either side of the fuselage. When you watch videos of these trains there is always a couple of these containers included. So I was thinking it would be great to have the scale containers with the scale fuselage if you wanted to model the prototype.
As you can see, next to a scale locomotive, the K-Line fuselage is really small. But that's fine as I have a small layout. Although I might try 3D printing my own more scale around plane body, it'll just be shorter then a 737.

Okay; understand.
The flatcar with fuselage and the other flat car came in a 2-piece set. The BN parts car was separately sold.
