Boeing 737-700

Smooth and compact nose cone and brand new simplified  nose gear which is now more stable and durable, the redesign has made the turning of the wheel easier than ever.

Some other minor "bugs" have been fixed:

• cockpit windows are absolutely clear
• flap track fairings are blue now
• vertical stabilizer design improvements

Brand new, astonishing livery. You can even choose classical blended winglets or split scimitars and customize your plane!

Split scimitar winglets (a ventral fin is mounted to the existing blended winglet post-production (Aviation Partners Boeing)

Blended winglets from the original Boeing production line

Slightly increased wingspan + better wing shape. The winglets have been repositioned as well as white position lights - they are  protruding now like the real ones. The tail fin design is undergoing a livery redesign (those white bricks are going to be replaced with yellow ones as soon as they arrive).

Southwest-Missouri 1 is next! Its individualized design is one of the most beautiful ones ever made! I simply love their special fleet liveries.  Nevertheless, I cannot re-create the national emblem ("united we stand, divided we fall") including the two bears facing each other.  Yet I can definitely apply some of the gorgeous color patterns that I like so much! Better wings

Enjoy the video, I am redesigning the tail right now. Soon, you will see the plane in an exclusive Southwest - Missouri 1 livery. Southwest is well known as one of the largest users of 737-700s, including split winglets!

 737 LIGHTING system explained

PICTURE 1: beacon, main and secondary landing lights, ice inspection lights

PICURE 2:white tail lights, red/green position lights

PICTURE 3: oval CFM turbofan detail by night

PICTURE 4: all exterior lights on, ready for take-off (wish I could implement strobe lights, too, they are no longer on the market.  I wanted to use original lego parts only)

PICTURE 5: main landing gear down

PICTURE 6: The battery box is hidden inside, just remove a big brick and you can easily switch it on or off. My 3 year old son can do that :). All the wiring stuff is hidden in the fuselage. No wires are visible. The LEGO lights are connected via original PF extension  wire. In order to change the batteries (you could possibly use the PF  rechargable box but I don´t have it anyway), just remove some bricks in the upper part and disconnect all lights from the hub (one easy move). It takes app. 2 minutes of work. These LEDs emit very bright lïght but do not consume much energy so you don´t change the batteries often.

PICTURES 7,8,9: ground handling support in action -  our pushback tractor is ready (optional set).

Please note that you can downgrade the winglets to the classical blended ones. It is solely up to your choice :-). Just remove the ventral fin and the scimitar tips. Some of you might possibly go for the version without any winglets. No WL versions are not so common for 737-700 series as the winglets are usually installed during the primary production - but they DO exist! El Al ectually uses them for shorter jumps as fuel burn savings are not significant in this case.

Btw, there is no need to adjust the remaining wingtip structure at the wingtips at all. That is why I love LEGO so much. It is incredibly versatile!

Thank you for your votes!

I feel kinda overwhelmed. My project has taken such a long time to design, build and buy spare parts (both used  and brand new) to finish it up.

I dedicated a lot of attention to every single detail of the plane and used plenty of 737 technical documentation and other stuff. I also used my personal experience from flying and aviation environment where I used to spend a lot of time some years ago.

Your appreciation is the best thing I can get, no matter if I reach 10 000 or not. Thank you once again and keep bricking!
