1/144 & 1/72 - Bombardier CRJ-700 by Big Planes Kits (BPK) - 1/72 & 1/144 released - new 1/72 boxing

[Gulliver]

There is a small lack of the wheel bay. It obvious if wheel’s  outline round the wheel’s bays round too. However  outline of the wheel-wells has an almond-shape. Forward and aft edges is bit flatten. No more than 1,5 mm. But enough to be visible. Scrupulous modeler should grind forward and aft edges of the wheel-well to sculpture ideal circle.

and ...

The wing of a prototype has super critical airfoil. Rumors says - to make correct scale wing airfoil press forms were remade twice by BPKmodels. More over, upper and lower flatnesses of the wing fasten each other with cramp on the lower flatness edge. Such a way of construction provides ultimately thick aft edge of the wing. While aft edges of the wings are forgotten usually by model manufacturers.

There are very ghostly chances that a third kit will be released in future in connection of  manufacturer engagement to ambitious scale projects of Airbus A319, Boeing 738 and even 777! Moreover, I suppose life of press forms will be short because of use them for CRJ-900 scale model production.

Has anyone acquired one of these? What's the scoop on accuracy and buildability?

There is a nice build thread on the A-CAM forum for the 1/72 CRJ-700

Cheers, Ray! i saw his build photos on Facebook, but there was no explanatory text, so this is very helpful. I'm thinking of getting the American Eagle boxing - I've flown in a couple of those, and they are the only jet that operates out of our local airport.

The CRJ-900 1.72 is not released yet. But we can see box and decal sheet.

Has just released for retail CRJ-900... Super puper exellent model... i love her very match!  With Zorro mask in the box... In 1.72 scale!

And, by the way,... if we will buy CRJ-700|900 series by BPK we will help them to overcome sudden difficulties with Boeing 738 1.72 project.

Priviet, Gulliver!  Can you elaborate on what you mean by "sudden difficulties?"
