Nothing yet Phillip , I still havn't received it yet.

Now I'm painting the 737's engine nacell's testors gloss grey, then I'll apply another coat of 20 surface cote to make then scratch resistant.

Starting on the 737's nose gear, something Rookie2008 mentioned have come to pass . . . .the heavy China models rubber wheels that come with this kit are WAY to heavy for the retract motor of the servoless retract, i'll have to use lighter foam substitutes, plus I'll have to modify the nose gear well to accomidate the wheels.

you should sink those in abit more to acomadate the larger wheels

you should order some o those nacelles for you 1011 and 1011 500

Hey chris i thought we were going to do the nacell's white? but they look realy good gray

Yes indeed K . . . . .I discovered that problem with the original Windrider 737 build thread and came up with that solution, good point though K.

Now I'm adding the nose gear to the 737, but there is one small problem thta everyone who's built the Windrider 737 has come across . . . . .there's not enough room in the wheel well for the retract to retract all the way into the well, here is the foam I cut away in order to solve this problem.

Now I'm adding the light-glass cockpit & also am adding the retact extensions & Nose wheel light wire to the nose section before joining the two fuselage halves.

Now I'm adding the lock nuts to the 737 plywood wing brackets before installation.

Joined at last! I finally have joined the two 737 fuselage halves together!
