Dunelimo Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hi Ray No it is not included in the kit, so it has to be scratch built, I think only my Z b767 came with a tail bumper, I will keep an eye on your build, looks good so far Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any progress on your build? Edited August 20, 2013 by Trojan Thunder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dunelimo Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 No progress as I have been busy with other stuff including grand kids, I will get some some on it the week end Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dunelimo Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 I got some more work done on the build after a long pause when the windscreen went missing after it's removal, it was recently found wrapped in green tap, :rolleyes:/>/> I still have a couple of minor decals to be placed and mast's to be made and light's added, but nearly all done, I will update with some better pic's when it's all complete Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Great Job Mike. The colour you used looks good, think I will have to hunt some down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dunelimo Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) A few pic's of the completed B777-300, at the end of the day I am happy with the built, there is some time needed sanding/filing some of the part's, the only real faults with the kit ( I am not counting rivets) is the over sized belly ( some filing fix's that up) and the wrong shaped raked wing tip's that are supplied (filing to a new shape fix's that) and the front strut is to short, (a 5mm extension is needed) but I think it's well worth spending some time and patient's to build the only true out of the box B777-300 with every thing there, no more to purchase, I must be happy as I have ordered an other EE B773 Mike Edited January 26, 2014 by Dunelimo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ishthe47guy Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Dune, nice job man. It came out great. I'll tell ya, this build was the inspiration for me to run out and grab a few bottles of the nail polish needed for this scheme from Target while I was back stateside on vacation last summer. I work in Abu Dhabi, and live only a few miles from Abu Dhabi International, so I see these birds pretty much on a daily basis. I've been meaning to start plane spotting again, and hopefully I'll catch ETK on final. When I was out there about a year ago, I did catch ETA,B,E,G,& H. Looks like I might shell out the dough for one of these kits at some point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
