Cool El Al Boeing 777-200 Paper Replika repaint

On the heals of finishing the Asiana B777 ( link here : Asiana B777 paper Replika repaint ), I decided to build another identical model repainted as El-Al Israel airlines.

So construction is identical, but with some lessons learned.


Here are the parts :

and because it is an Israeli plane, I used the cardboard sides from a Matza box ( it's kosher now ) to make the frames.

Fuselage belly fairing

The fairing on the bottom of the fuselage is for the housing of the wing center section to the fuselage.

here is the part


and attached. I used the marking for the rear door to position the fairing axially. So I know it is placed correctly ( or at least as intended ).

Attachment 407336

but......

The repaint, has a small section of the side striping go thru the forward portion. Unfortunately it does not match and looks out of place. Therefore it is a repaint error.

I don't think the actual aircraft has the belly fairing any coloring continuation from the sides.
Here is a photo of it. Notice the belly fairing has no side stripe going thru it.

Looks GREAT!!!! I got to know that livery while I was stuck at Heathrow check in for 2 hours because of a system error. The check in for El Al was right next to Asiana, and I think they were operating a 777 for that flight as well. Would be awesome to see the two together!!!

Here is a link to this model in our Download section

It is a repaint by John Bowden of a Paper Replica model in 1/150 scale.

Exclamation Wings

The wings are straight forward.


Inner spars here
El Al Boeing 777-200 Paper Replika repaint-img_1102.jpg


They are then inserted to the cutouts in the fuselage ( do not glue them on ).

I added small extra card on top to ease guiding the wing skins inserts ( see the Asiana build ).


and wings on.
