Boeing 737 Classic winglets

[Skodadriver]

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

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

It certainly does Tim. Many thanks.
