Howdy Nick!

I know this one! I tackled it once for my bro. It's really next level when you compare it to the Revell airliners from 20 years ago.

This is how mine turned out:

WIP on it is also here on the forums, if you want to see it...

What livery do you plan for your machine?

Good luck with your build and have a nice day

Wow she is a big bird.  Longer than the A380-800 I just finished.  I love these big airliners but man the chew up shelf space!  Following this build - I have the zvezda 747-8 in the stash so looking forward to how a zvezda liner goes together.

Great job on yours Pawel.

Thanks,

John

Hello!

Lookin' good! Did you get the fan to spin when you blow into the intake? I checked, it can be done in this one!

Good luck with your build and have a nice day

Thanks,

Well, those are pretty substantial engines - you can fit a gurl in there with a considerable margin!

Hi Pawel!

    I am sorry, I just have to chime in here! Just what scale is this Bird? I would probably do mine in a Semi-Fictitous Fed-Ex livery.

Woah! You chose to built my favorite airliner. I love planes, but it's mostly the commercial airliners that I love. Nice of you to choose the 777. Such a large plane, and I've only flew on it once on a 16 hour trip. I can tell that you're going to love it, with the fact that there are many aftermarket decals for many different airlines. It's such a joy to have customization to the plane. I hope you will enjoy it.

Made you Look

Fun fact, the GE9X is the world's largest turbofan engine. It's supposed to be fitted in the 777X, and it's larger than the width of a Boeing 737 Fuselage. Crazy.

Hello!

The engines are lookin' good! Is this a dry fit or are you permanently attaching the engines to the wing?

Good luck with your build and have a nice day

Very, very nice work! Only one thing....the engine intake ring, up close, looks like aluminum that's been orbital sanded - not polished at all. I work on these beasts every day at the Boeing factory in Everett...I'm in AOG (Airplane On Ground) and when someone breaks their expensive toy, we load up and head to anywhere in the word where thier airplane has turned into a paperweight to return it to "as delivered" condition.
Having said THAT.......bloody nice work, mate!
