guillaume320 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Hello everybody, Here is some work in progress on my Revell 737-800 in Ryanair colors... Firstly some work on blending in the cockpit parts and closing the windows as I will be using decals. Reshaping the inaccurate winglets... I'm still not 100% on the outcome, as they should be a bit taller, but I don't know if that would be noticeable on the finished model... Winglet dryfit Overview... Frontview... This is where I see a lot of builds go wrong: Normaly, when you assemble the wings to the fuselage, there is a gap at the wing-fuselage joint. This is caused by a lack of dihedral on the wing. Many people just fill this gap, resulting in a wrong overal look of the model. Instead of filling the gap, you should push the wing upwards against the fuselage... Here is my result: More to come later Best regards, Guillaume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICHW Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 these are my winglets on a finished 737-800 model that Richellis is talking about they are made from thin sheet steel and stick fine to the plastic this is how they come Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillaume320 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks for the feedback guys... Richard: I followed your online build of the Alaska 737... Very interesting to me because I'm gonna do the same color sheme (Ryanair) in a later build... I see you even managed to replicate the Position lights on the trailing edge at the base of the winglets... How did you replicate them? A small piece of plasticard glued on the metal winglet?? Richless: What colours are you finishing yours? Best regards, Guillaume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards, Guillaume Hi Guillaume Im going to do the Ryanair one soon too , i have hand painted the 787 into Boeing colours last year before any of the decals were released i used the revell position lights on my winglets i managed to attach them by trimming the top off the revell ones and super gluing them onto the winglets i will show this in more detail when i next do a 737 with winglets , im just in the process of replacing the revell winglets on my existing models Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
