Smile B-737 is back...

Hello everyone!

I am still missing couple of wheel well details/dimensions.

I wanted to go to Lasham Open Day, which is the one and only on which you can get close to airliners like B-737(!!!) and to measure what I need.
Unfortunately this year this very unique aviation venue is CANCELLED
Anyway, I hope to get them soon...

So far I am trying to make the main gear and wheels.

The main part is made by cardboard wrapped on a metal wire - paper clip. Also, I think, it could be made from ballpen refill - that would be one and only plastic part of the airplane.

The tyres will be done from 5 cardboard circles scratched and filled by my 'old friend' - superglue or by model filler. Tomorrow we'll see which one is more effective...

(The red line shows the dimension of the whell well)

Hey Mac, good to see that you are still working on this marvellous aircraft. The paper disks method of making wheels is one of the most common, and getting the tyre profile is perhaps easier on a spinning sanding disk, you can of course sand them by hand.... takes longer, but hey... there's no rush mate. Look forward to the next up-date.

Cybermac thank you for taking the time to design this cool 737. I'm sorry I didn't see this thread earlier or I would have responded. If you need help with your paint let me know...I think I may be able to help you along a bit. It's not hard but the learning curve can be a bit clumsy. Maybe I can help you streamline it a little.

Let me know....Art

Pan Am

Hi!

That's a fresh idea!
I know they were using B-737-400 just like the one here...

OK, Pan Am added to the list

Cheers!

if you join flightsim.com and search Boeing 737 under 2004airliners you could spend weeks (5513) hits getting textures you can convert for your base model they got them all including every southwest special livery

...

Hi!

Yes, free textures from flight simulators can be very usefull!
For the first time I used one of them for the wheels...

Still having some problems with the wheel wells dimensions as every drawing I found is showing bit different proportions!!
Anyway, soon I should get it sorted!
