PhantomBigStu Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Just acquired a set of BA 777-200 decals and annoyingly Hannants are out of stock of the Bra.Z engines. However I read the other day that BAs have a mixed fleet? Is that correct or just confusion over the GE engines on the 300ER?

tomprobert Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 The early -200s have the GE engine - not to be confused with the GE engines on the -300ERs though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomprobert Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 What kit do you have? The RR and GE engines and pylons on the -200s are externally very similar. You’d easily get away with using any RR/GE/Pratt engine and no one would know the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as for the engines looks like either I’ll be a chicken and do 300er of order RR engines and early wingtips from Bra.Z direct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Hi Which decals did you get - do they cover all the BA 200s? The ZZZ and VII (plus G-RAES) aircraft all had the GE90 and the YMM ones the Roller. The GE is significantly bigger than the Roller which is quite noticeable. Unfortunately both engines are different to the GE90 on the 300 (which is bigger still) so you would need new engines either way. Look forward to seeing the build - I must start my 300 sometime!

Cheers Glen Won’t be seeing it anytime soon, now got myself well occupied for the foreseeable future. But here’s the decals, probably can do any BA 777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 @PhantomBigStu Hannants seem to restock the Bra.Z stuff fairly often so put it on a watch & grab it when they get them back. That's how I got some RR ones for the AirNZ one I want to do. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
