techniquest Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 This is the 1.144 Revell kit and 8A Decals. The kit is superb, the decals are great too - they look crisp and they go on really nicely, but the red/white/green stripe seems to have been wrongly sized which eventually puts doors and windows in the wrong place. If you start decalling from the back (as I did), the stripe doesn't meet at the nose as a continuous all-round line. However, if you start at the front, the wide stripe goes up the fuselage to meet the fin far too early. That's my experience anyway, but then I might have simply done the whole thing wrong. Oh well; it looks nice anyhow. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feldr Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 did you mean 737-800? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techniquest Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 did you mean 737-800? No, I absolutely mean 787 Dreamliner. In fact a 787-8. I'll do more photos tomorrow http://www.planespotters.net/Production_List/Boeing/787/40695,XC-MEX-Fuerza-Aerea-Mexicana.php 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Great looking 'airliner'. I tend to start my decaling from the nose, as I figure that will show more, and if I have to hide a few crimes, under the back wings will be easier. Just used my first 8A decals this weekend, ( details on an A320 ) and yes, they are good. Very nice looking 787. Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 That's lovely. Dreamliner with a cheatline certainly warrants more pictures. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickpadwick1801 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Nice job, that looks amazing. I've always wanted to fly on a dreamliner and build a kit of one :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Such a beautiful looking aeroplane, and a lovely finish on your model. I particularly like the way you've finished the engines, very nice touch. Al (definitely a 787 fan!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeW Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Back wings Mike? What they do?They smile in your face all the time they want to take your place the back stabs................... Sorry! I do lapse into technical jargon from time to time It was a long time before I realized the vertical stabilizer was actual just the tail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
