kev67 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Looks like BPK are starting the artwork for a 1/72 Boeing 777, there 737-800 seems as though it had some minor damage in the mould process https://bigplaneskits.com/novosti/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 At slight risk to my marriage, I got hold of the BPK 737-800 kit and it sure looks nice in the box! I'll check the front fuselage halves for that moulding flaw, but I don't recollect noticing it on my kit. The 777 kit in 1/72 would be amazing, but I think my Missus would not be happy if I got one. 😕 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They retooled and got rid of it in the remainder of the run, yours should be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev67 Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 My kit was OK as Ray said they fixed the issue, it is not the easiest of kits to put together to be honest, but has lovely crisp panel lines, the main problem is the passenger glazing, which required a lot of sanding and polishing to conform to the fuselage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
