tomprobert Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 I've finished her! Have bee doing the final details over the last couple or evenings. I'm pleased with how this has come out; a 777-300ER is a welcome addition to my civil collection. Below are a few pictures of the model. Decals came from the Xtradecal BA sheet X44-002 which needed to be modified to represent a -300ER series. The over wing exit markings are not quite right, but they were all I had in the spares box. A close up of Contrail Models GE-90-115B The latest edition sitting alongside a 777-200ER as a comparison in size Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev1n Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 the fin should have a gold strip down the trailing edge and a bare metal leading edge http://www.airliners.net/photo/Singapore-A...a87ce59cff4521a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leader3 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Hello tom just seen your model of a Boeing 777-300ER, first impressions very good. i have been involved with the B777-300ER ever since they arrived in BA colours. i have taken lots of photos of the three aircraft that currently BA have. i have only just found your thread on here today and i know it may be to late but here are some pictures that may help. glad to see that you have tried to do the converssion, going to have a go myself soon and i like the set you used. as with regards to the coroguard on the wings the BA aircraft do have it on the underside and i will check the top side but that gets a little difficult to try to get that view!!!! Tony.. Edited March 2, 2011 by leader3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leader3 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 here are some more photos, you have to excuss the cluttered pictures as the aircraft last week were parked on the smallest stand that would take this size aircraft, it provided a intresting challenge!!!!

Kev1n Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 dont worry about pics being cluttered - I think they're brilliant (love a job like yours - got any vacancies?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leader3 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 here is a picture that may interest some. it is of the drive motor for the cargo doors and it appears that the motor is covered in dead flies. the theory goes that when the holds are closed at the out stations there are these fruit flies on board and when the aircraft gets to altitude they settle for the hotest part of the hold. and as the motor will be the last thing that is used it is still warm when the aircraft gets to altitude. no other part of the hold is covered in these flies!

madaboutmodels Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 What a brilliant paint scheme! I'm planning on doing one of these. But I might give the Eastern Express kit a go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
