Dassault Falcon F7X

hello,
Those last two weeks, i've started to built this A/C scaled down from 1:60 to 1:100 - the paper sheet of the model was found on the Web site of Dassault Aviation ( but it seems that the web link doesn't work anymore) - the nose- cokpit and tail section are made - i'm starting the engine right now..
I've modified a little bit the assembly instruction printing the sheets twice, first in color on 160g paper and then in B&W on 80g paper to allow as much as possible to have flat joints between section using the 80g paper to built the butt straps - the coloured parts are then cut w/o their designed butt straps

Should make a very handsome model

Too bad the link doesn't work. I had the opportunity to visit Duncan Aviation in Lincoln,NE the last few years. Duncan is the contractor that outfits all of the 7X aircraft for Dassault. They fly them to Lincoln from the factory in Europe, and Duncan outfits the interior, avionics, paint, etc to each customer's custom order. I was able to see how the cabinetry, upholstery, and instrument wiring was done.

I would love to make a model and give to someone I know that works on the 7X line.
