I recently purchased the above mentioned book. I liked the book very much, the photos are great, and nicely organized, easy to understand and well written. Other than a few spelling errors throughout the book, it's a nice book and recommend it to all out there thinking about getting into airliner modeling. Pick up a copy as it's useful, I've been modeling a while and learned somethings from it.
7474
I have The Complete Encyclopedia of world aircraft. And access to line drawings library BOEING. I just recieved a set of drawings for the Dreamlifter much like the Beluga but different shape.
That would be great to see. I'm thinking of doing a scratch built conversion of a 747 to a dreamlifter.

That will be a project!
With as much engineering that went in to the conversion and all the neat ground equipment specifically designed to handle the 787 parts, should be a wowzeer.
And then after you have done that why not do a BCF? should be simple

Building the perfect model---just not quite yet
Yeah - that Dreamlifter sure is quite a sight! They're moving into and out of Paine Field all the time, delivering the biggest darned palletized loads you ever did see. The specialised handling equipment is mind boggling ....I see them almost every day at work, and the most spectacular loads are the fuselage sections (barrels) and the wing sets from Mitsubishi. I wish I could take pictures for you guys - but that's one of the quickest ways of getting fired known to man.
It's not really all that much of a stretch to cobble up a Dreamlifter from a production model - the fuselage is pretty much slab sided, with a constant waterline roof - that means (from first glances) it looks like the roof section is straight. Other than the extended roofline and the massive hinge fairings, it should be a fairly straightforward conversion.

Yeah I have to go on what I see in a model I purchased from the Boeing store. I worked here in Spokane for Boeing years ago making duct work. There are some other avenues to go to kitbash a model but I'll keep them to my self. I'm sure Revell will come out with one sooner or later like they did Beluga. "nice model"!
