It’s been a year since Gerardo finished his model, so I guess it’s my turn to tackle this beastie. I am going with a different build strategy, start at both ends and work towards the middle. This allows me access to the interior of the model to help create strong and smooth joint seams. The design of the model is quite unique. Lots of places where you cut out parts just to glue a similar shaped part in its place. It could be simplified, but it’s a great model for the building obsessive fraternity. Unlike Gerardo, I’m building it as an in flight model. The landing gear and gear bays are very well designed but I already have the Ed Force One 757 built, and it has no landing gear. So this one will be gear up to match.
