Hi.
does anyone know the angle between the 2 front windows (captain's and FO's) and if there is the same angle in for the uppper side of the glareshield?
I want to make first the 2 front window frames, connect them together and place them in front my glare.
Please check the attached pics to see what i'm looking for.
regards
Eddie

Hi Eddie,
Im gonna help you out, but only tomorrow ( its 9 pm in portugal and i dont have the elements here that i need), at least the best way i can, ill put the drawing you posted in autocad (which i have at the office) and ill draw the vectors in order to know the angle... this wont be 100% exact, but, if your drawing is correct, it will be pretty close
Talk to you tomorrow, take care
Alex

Hint: exterior angles are supplementary to the corresponding interior angle.

Yes, but we don't have the exteriors !!

I'm not sure if these drawings are 100% scale of the original
We need an answer from someone owns a real 737 Shell, or has bought a ready one as product
These drawings i found them in old MarkusPilot site and other similar sites
thanks all

A real one would be better. We don't really know if even an aftermarket shell is 100% correct.

I'd ask an active 737 pilot that I know here (some of you met him in Lelystad) but I gather it'll be difficult for him to get measurements pre-flight. So let's hope someone that owns a real life 737 nose which is no longer attached to the plane can help out.

Anyone using a real cockpit's glareshield ?;)
