737 has Krueger flaps on the inner section of the wings; not slats!

the aircraft itself is complete!
all thats left are aerials and decals

I believe the fuselage needs to be slightly shorter, the nose gear needs to be positioned more aft and the nose section might also be more refined. Do you have a full side profile view? Maybe the angle of this rendering is playing tricks on my sight

thanks for the advice ill adjust it if required

heres the side profile
Thank you! Yeah, my suggestions still stand. Take a look:
I did a pretty rough adjustment. Not really perfect by any means but I hope it might help! Shape of the nose section seems to be OK actually, I just shortened the fuselage, placed the nose gear more aft and shortened the tail section too, although it still needs some tweaks.
Here's also a side profile of a real B737-200, for comparison.

all thats left is to make the tail more accurate!

not sure which tail looks more accurate. I feel like its the taller one but at the same time not
Taller one have the best shape but I don't think it should be that tall!

how tall do you think it should be? it matches the blueprint that I used to shape out the fuselage

I guess you're right, keep the tall size of the blueprint, looks better than the lower version indeed

funnily, that short tail was ALSO from a blueprint I found, but I think that blueprint is incorrect since thats where I pulled this long fuselage from. Thanks for the feedback

i’m no expert but simply by vibe:
short tail feels correct for the size of the plane?
and the new nose wheel placement feels much better with leo’s adjustments. same with short fuselage. the -200s really are super short and stubby looking almost (in the best ways ofc
) it’s looking good so far!

the short tail does feel correct by the vibe, but it works a lot better on the 737-100 i designed.
i never knew how stubby the 200s really were, but i love them.
i expect to have the sample model ready in the next couple weeks
