I’m currently working on the engines. I decided to cut out the fan blades. This model has a different engine than the British Airlines model on the Canon Creative Park website, so the instructions from Canon are not correct. I found a good video on YouTube that shows the proper assembly of this model.

Sharp-looking engine faces. A simple (albeit tedious...) bit of work that makes a nice improvement.

Thanks, dhanners. I should have mentioned that before cutting out the turbine blades, I put a drop of superglue on the back of the turbine disk to make the paper stronger. I would hate to have a blade rip off during construction. All engines are now complete. Next building step are the flap hinge fairings.

Those engines look very nice.

4 months later and here she is. The balance point for the stand was WAY further back than I though it would be. I had to perform some surgery to get the metal washer far enough back for the magnets in the stand to hold her nose up. I made a few errors, so I have a reason to make the SCA repaint now.

And here she is in formation with her older sister.

And since I just finished Murph's747 SCA, here is how the two compare. Murph's model is slightly smaller, and has different engines. Also Murph's is a much simpler build.

Hmmm. I don't remember standing on my head when I took that picture. It was right side up on my computer monitor.
