Need help with Carribean Airlines 737-800
Posted by Banshee1000 on Wednesday, November 3, 2010 1:04 AM

I'm modeling the 737-800 Carribean Airlines, and I've run into a bit of reference trouble.

 I've found references and pictures from every part of this plane except the top wings.  The closest picture I could find was from an inside window just behind the wing, which shows about the outer 50% of the wing, which lets me verify the gray panel and border.  The problem I'm having is the slight offset around the access panels (?) the small protuberance at the aft border.  I guessed it would not be a straight line and would be gray, based on the slight irregular line from the bottom wing.  I'm close to the paint finish, so I'd need to correct this now if I'm wrong.  Can anyone help with this?  I've just returned from a flight on an American Airlines 787, and stared at the wing the entire flight.  On this plane the top wing is completely gray, but the inner panel has a heavy black border, and these access panels (or whatever they are) are separately outlined with a heavy black border.

 Thank you.

The bottom of the plane, which I know to be correct.  Notice the small bump to the gray panel next to the engine.

The top of the wing, where I'm uncertain.  You can see I've carried the gray bump to the top.
