Skodadriver Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 One of my current projects is Revell 788 which is likely to be finished in Norwegian colours but might alternatively appear as LOT. I am struggling to find a photo which gives a clear view of the arrangement of the wingtip lights. They aren't shown at all in the BM walkaround and they aren't shown clearly in the Airliner Cafe equivalent. I've skimmed through Airliners.net etc but photographers who submit pics to these sites don't usually take close-ups of the wingtips! Can anybody help with a photo or a link?

Rabbit Leader Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Dave, Let me check Chapter 33 of our companies 787 IPC (Illustrated Parts Catalogue) when I go back to work tomorrow morning. There's probably a few diagrams that may be helpful. If so, I'll ask for your email address and send them through. Cheers.. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbofan Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi Dave, Is this the sort of thing you're looking for? https://www.airteamimages.com/boeing-787_N787BX_boeing_104810.html Or maybe half way down this page https://hiveminer.com/Tags/airventure,dreamliner Also the second pic on this page http://matthamptonphotography.com/boeing-787-dreamliner.html Hope these are of some use. Looking forward to seeing your Dreamliner soon! Cheers, Ian 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photos Ian has linked answer most of my questions but if possible I'd like to know what the lights look like from above. 6 hours ago, Turbofan said: Hi Dave, Is this the sort of thing you're looking for? https://www.airteamimages.com/boeing-787_N787BX_boeing_104810.html Or maybe half way down this page https://hiveminer.com/Tags/airventure,dreamliner Also the second pic on this page http://matthamptonphotography.com/boeing-787-dreamliner.html Hope these are of some use. Looking forward to seeing your Dreamliner soon! Cheers, Ian Thanks Ian, these are indeed most useful. I'm quite enjoying the 788 although the engines were an interesting experience. I don't know when it will make it to RFI but it will be some time yet. The original plan was to do Norwegian but a quick look at model photos on the net showed that an awful lot of builders had the same idea! LOT is the most likely alternative because I have a long term plan to model at least one aircraft from all European "flag carriers" and Poland isn't currently represented.

PhantomBigStu Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Rather than start a new thread, I’m doing a Dreamliner in British airways colours, can anyone confirm the paintwork aside from the obvious white and blue, are the wings Boeing grey with silver areas, what about the engine pylons, Boeing grey as well or white?

Jure Miljevic Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Wings, apart from leading edges, are white or off-white, and so are pylons. With most, if not all, skin being made of CFRP the only parts left in NM would be leading edges. Cheers Jure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Jure In the meatime I found a set of decals that contradict that, at least the pylon colour which is shown as grey. thanks anyway https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/STS44210 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Check photos on this link. Pylons look white to me as do on every other photo of BA 787 I found. Cheers Jure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) Stand corrected thanks guys, though one thing is the pattern the same as the Boeing house aircraft in the revel kit? Edited June 29, 2018 by PhantomBigStu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodadriver Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Important lesson number one - never assume that painting guidance in decal instruction sheets is accurate. Important lesson number two - always assume that painting guidance in kit instructions is inaccurate. Important lesson number three - doing research is fun! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Unfortunately I would not know, PhantomBigStu, I do not have this Revell kit. Cheers Jure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
