    So here is something, guys. My friend and i founded a model company, called CRModels . We were developing RR engines as injection plastic for the revell kit. Sprue designs were 100% ready for tooling and we were just waiting for revell to release the kit to make sure they dont put some RR engines in the box. Well... today we learned that the reason for the release delay (12/2023) indeed is the addition of RR engines to the kit. So, the good news is, despite a lot of other inaccuracies, the Revell kit will come with RR Trent 700 engines as plastic injection mold. We are just happy we didn't invest the money in the tooling too early...cause now we focus on another much bigger project.

    It might be worth mentioning that those blade masks are cut from original TAMIYA masking tape. Also the Revell 747-8 fans have become worse over the years, the mold seems to have strong wear, thats why these 8k replacement prints have been made.

    on the mentioned kits the wheels are the least problematic thing (Vanguard, F100 and so on). Never the less we plan some upgrades for the EE DC10, L1011 and RoG F100.

    Out of curiosity: Would you guys be interested in MD80 (minicraft) and B717 (EE) wheels as well?
  5. RCI
    yes, but it will take a few months. we have quite a large backlog of projects to be realized.

    actually thats a great idea, i think we will plan this for the future on CR-Models i guess the dc9 wheels are one of those never been made on the aftermarket..

    available in germany 🤷‍♂️ https://www.ebay.de/itm/325455349357?hash=item4bc6a6866d:g:eTYAAOSwEAtjkhRX

    apart from the fact that revell has made its tool optional for other versions AFAIK, GWH made a nice -C.

    this is so funny!!!!!!!! revell makes a new F15, everyone complains about another F15 (quality not a subject), no one needs another one etc etc. Finemolds does a new one, people are happy. Did i miss something? 😏

    tbh IMHO, that looks like the blank catastrophe and is exactly what i expected.

    like their other kits, this has lots of inaccuracies. i always find it some kind of funny when companies post pictures of 3d designs, intending to make it look stunning - in this case the whole thing is so badly off definetly not buying any of their stuff...

    i bet against a new trent sprue

    i would be more than surprised if this is not the Eastern express tooling.

    really excited about that one. they also added air inlets, which is great. i really like the decal choice...hopefully available soon for a reasonable price.

    insane, but nice, but insane.....

    looks great as usual

    haha thanks Bertie. i love these cockpit details, allthough in the end it is only possible to see it with a torch...

    thx Matt, alltough i personally think the el al 757 came out a bit better. thx lewis thank you! glad you like it. yes, and i also did not hit the color tone a 100% 😕 its quite hard to actually match it. very good, i also improve myself with inputs from other modellers. thx kenny, surprised that someone actually digged out this thread very true... in the 80ies and 90ies it was even better...

    SUM / slava ukraini models what a great thing, and if the kit is not as pricey as EE kits and the availability is like BPK, that would be awesome. Really appreciate it. stay strong!

    looks great, especially in terms of the decal drama. i can feel your pain...

    nice job and welcome! i guess that 767 was mandatory as you went for MFF with that rating wish i could have flown one of them...
  22. RCI
    i absolutely see your point, thats why i always stayed away from ANZ liveries
  23. RCI
    looks great, by far the best concorde scheme! i'd be happy to see more, maybe next time with proper lighting on the photos?
  24. RCI
    absolutely not a fan of window decals, so as you said i also would have loved to see clear windows on that from you , but despite it is really nice shiny model and an authentic replica. the one and only minor critique point maybe is that the real thing doesnt have a silver frame around the cockpit windows.
  25. RCI
    great choice and a well built 757, keep it going!
