787 Dreamliner

You'll really like the window decals.  Look forward to the finished model

This is the first time I'm using those window decals, so I hope they perform well.

Nice kit, and I also LOVE those decals. What a great idea!

Steve,

The slow poke plane is a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan.  There is a 1/72 resin kit out there, but aside from the "glass" digital cockpit, the rest of the real plane was forgettable.

We had YS-11s operating here in Hawaii for a short time, operated by Mid Pacific Air.  I never flew them, remembering the flight to Hiroshima.

Hawaiian Airlines operated 4-engine turboprop De Havilland Dash-7s for a while.  I rode on one once.  Sitting under the wing gave me a great view of the landing gear disgorging from above.  No APU though, so our 30 minute stopover on Molokai sucked without air conditioning!

That YS-11 is a cool looking airline. What's the plane in your picture?

I flew on one for engine prop plane one time when I was a wee tike, don't remember what it was though. I'll fly out of Boise on a Bombardier Dash 8 sometimes and they do go slow, but not as slow as that YS or that one in your picture I'll bet.

Steve,

I rode on a 727 once, when the FAA over here operated one for nav-aid calibration checks.  We got to go with them out to the Big Island.  Definitely more fun than having to sit in class in the afternoon!

I flew over to Lanai for the first time this week, in a single engine turboprop.  Man, it crawled compared to the jets:

The ride into Lanai was a little bumpy, with one drop enugh for my fat bottom to almost leave the seat.  Still, a LOT better than the YS-11 flight over to Hiroshima back in the 1970s.  My blood felt like a milkshake from the intense vibration and high frequency noise from the engines.  My sis threw up all the way.  

I'd use to fly in 727's. Half of those wings would turn into flaps it seemed. I love looking out the window, even if it is just ocean. I like watching the ships thinking, wow, you sure are going slow. On land watching cars and trucks wondering how anyone can stand to take that long going somewhere (I use to drive a Simi). But like my wife and I going to Vegas this Aug, I'll drive 10 hours vs 2 in the air.

Cool, another airliner build!  Hasegawa kits provide the bolt nose weight if I recall.  Their line of 1/200 airliners are awesome. 
I'll be following this one for sure. 

Yeah, not much to see over the Pacific Ocean on the way to Japan.  As a kid, I just watched the 747's wingtip go up and down, and wondered what that big antenna thing on the trailing edge did.  My favorite part of every flight was when the plane settled into final approach and those triple slotted flaps fully extended.  Watching the runway go rushing by through the flaps when the spoilers deployed always fascinated me.

The 787's flaps are simpler one piece units that are still Fowler-type, but lack the cool "Venetian blind" look of the 747's. 

That's cool G. I like the idea for nose weight. I REALLY like those decals.

Say, what's to look at from Hono to Japan anyway cept the Pacific?

that's a nice, cleancut idea for adding nose weight. 

those Decals look good . The plane is very neat I'll be watching this
