Skodadriver Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Has anyone had experience of fitting the winglets to the Daco Skyline 737? I am planning a winglet-fitted B733 in Air Baltic livery and having cut the wings at the obvious point (the line immediately inboard of the wingtips) I can't see how to fit the winglets without a significant bit of packing and bodging. Also, to my eyes the Daco winglets are too tall. (They are around 2mm taller than the winglets on a Zvezda 737-700). Does anybody know how the Daco parts compare to the real dimensions? Thanks in anticipation Dave G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timo Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hi Dave Some Boeing data for the 737-300: Ground level to wingtip (no winglets) = 3.09m (21.5mm at 1/144 scale) Ground level to top of winglet = 5.41m (37.6mm at 1/144 scale) Difference (not taking account of winglet's angle) = 16.1mm at 1/144 scale Looking at the DACO winglets on the sprue I measured this dimension at around 20mm which would be nearly 4mm too much for a 737-300. Hope this helps Cheers Tim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
