Boeing 787-8

Hi all,

A friend of mine commissioned a Boeing 787-8 model, and I was asked to build it for him. The designer of this beautiful model is Murph's Models, who is running a model commission service. The model is currently unavailable for download, but it may be available one day.

This test build is in 1/200 with gears up. The model has detailed gear wells, similar to the Canon CP models. But I think they will be difficult to handle at this scale, so I decided not to use them. Everything fits well and the shape is beautiful. More progress to be done soon.

The coloured model is the older Oddball Productions model by the same designer, still on sale at Ecards for around 3~4 dollars.

Bonus!!! He also commissioned an A350, here's some work. But I need to restart this build. The photo is from months ago, and I ruined it a few days ago (facepalm)

The models we have now are all in 1/100, but the finished models will be in 1/72. Pretty big, right?

I found this picture on Facebook of a livery Aeromexico is planning to paint on one of their 787-9s...
