Just a few thoughts: I'd recommend taking a look at some higher quality pictures online, as the photos you took seem to be struggling quite a bit with proper white balance, and I think that might be playing tricks on your eyes. That's something to keep in mind in general with cameras though, as white is notoriously difficult to photograph. But that said, basing this purely on pictures can be moot point. Surely you've seen some color illusions, such as the famous black vs gold dress debate...if not here's a neat article on the topic: https://www.provideocoalition.com/5-color-illusions-that-colorists-filmmakers-should-be-familiar-with/. So can you really trust your eyes after all? 😅 And then we get to the fact of how easily white gets dirty and fades over time, so even if it started off as a pure white, it might not look it after some time. Here's a quick picture I found, with a variety of different white cans. You be the judge: https://www.airliners.net/photo/Untitled-US-Airways/Boeing-767-201-ER/6717913/L But let's assume after all this research, you've decided it isn't a pure white, so you add a drop or two of grey to your white mix...will you really be able to tell the difference on the small scale as MBM mentioned?

A beautiful result! However I didn't quite understand why you painted the fuselage white before putting in the resin...you even mention in the video that the resin might eat the paint?

Oh so it's just different rims? That's an oddly specific detail...makes you wonder why only two variations? 😂

Any idea what they mean by two main gear wheel types?

Any clues on a release date? I've got a Bra-Z conversion waiting to be built but it's such a poor fit to the revell kit I might just end up scrapping it...unless this kit proves to be even worse 😅

Hmm that is odd. I have yet to try them, but looks like you still came out with a very nice and smooth finish from what I can tell!

Especially for the SSMEs! There's also this guy I just ran across. A bunch of resin parts and PE... https://mek.kosmo.cz/newware/#nw143

Nice work! Just in case you weren't aware, these exist: http://www.realspacemodels.com/shop-galapagos/1144-space-shuttle-main-engines

Beautiful work! What kind of paints did you use?

Read through your WIP, awesome detailing! I have to admit I'm a little disappointed you didn't go ahead and scratch build a whole airport for it If there's one thing I noticed from your pictures though, the nose gear should be completely vertical aka perpendicular to the ground, unlike some planes that have it tilted forward (A320 for one).

Who knows, maybe alexander finally realized it's more profitable in the long run to actually print and send the couple bucks worth of paper?

It took about a month from when I placed my order with priority shipping, and I got the tracking number about 2 and a half weeks after ordering. I have to admit though this was my second try with alex. I tried the same order a year ago and nothing but silence. But reimbursed by paypal without a hassle.

Good news, received my Brussels Airlines - Tintin decal sheet late last week! Good condition, cardboard reinforced envelope, no mixups. Luckily I'm only after the one set so I won't have to play this game of polish/brazillian roulette anymore, but it's a relief to know that there still is a chance, no matter how small, you can get that super rare sheet. And with Paypal protection, the only thing you have to lose is a little patience.

How is this level of realism even possible?

Finally got a tracking number yesterday after placing my order on the 6th. Current status is "Posted - Sao Paulo", and expected delivery end of february to mid march...and to think I really believed the extra couple euros for priority shipping would make a difference
