Sunwing Boeing 737-800 C-FTJH basks in the evening Dublin sunshine, about to operate to the sunnier climes of Ibiza, those lucky people. C-FTJH recently transferred over from Canada to Ireland for the summer 2014 season, working various flights out of Ireland to " hotspots " around Europe. Unknown to those lucky travellers, they will have reduced their carbon footprints on those sandy beaches in Ibiza even further, as this aircraft is fitted with the latest split Scimitar winglets, turning both the traditional upwards & now downwards as well.
Taken from Gate B23 At KLAS Las Vegas McCarran Airport looking west towards The Strip. I see David Copperfield is playing at the MGM Grand.
I thought I'd have some fun with this photo and leave the winglet colorized. You tell me what you think...

I've been sitting on this ship for far too long. All because I didn't have the peices for the tiny winglets that are on the back large stabilizer thrusters (I still don't have them). Anyways on to the build.
I built this ship from the pieces of the older, larger, ravager ship. It is 1:125 scale. It has an interior, moving wings, and thrusters. It is one of the hardest builds I've built in real life, with the nose going through like 5 different versions before arriving at this one.
The leading edge of the wings on either side is attached by only two studs appecie, yet there are so many contact points between them and the rear part of the wings that it feels and acts really strong (don't hold it by there though, learned that the hard way... twice).
The interior consists of two beds on either side and a table near the front. It is hire up then it should be as I had the mistaken view that the ship had three decks: The cockpit, The habitation deck, and the airlock. it turns out, when I re watched the 2nd movie, the back half of the ship was blown off, so in reality, it only should have 2 decks. I tried to fixed this but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
I'm really proud with how the moving thrusters at the back turned out. the scale called for 3 stud wide thrusters but I dint have any peices that could pull that off... till I found tires, which brought the width of each thruster from two to three studs. The height of each pod is a bit too tall but thats a small sacrifice to pay when building small.
Problems:
Interior is slightly higher up then intended, removing the rear half of the flight deck
There are no seats in the cockpit
Missing the rear thruster pod fins

One of the coolest looking fuel saving technologies to come out of aviation research and development are these Spiroid Wingletsâ„¢. They were first flown on the Gulfstream II in 1993. Over the course of the next several years they were further developed & refined, and these updated versions were flown on a Falcon 50 in 2010 resulting in a drag reduction of nearly 11%. I have a set on my Mazda3 and am proud to say my drag reduction is through the roof!
