Heard about this plane the last 2 nights on the National News. Looks like a dream with lots of room! Especially when flying across the 'pond'.

Re: A Beautiful Bird: Boeing unveils 787 Dreamliner

Any maker planning to release this in diecast? I'm not really into jet liners but for this beaut I'd make an exception!

Gemini Jets has a mould - released either late last year or earlier this year. They already have several liveries available.

1/400 scale:

Re: A Beautiful Bird: Boeing unveils 787 Dreamliner

Very cool bird! Not quite as radical as the original concept though. Seen a 1/400 model of that and it looks super cool.

Re: A Beautiful Bird: Boeing unveils 787 Dreamliner

Boeing just keeps on making big beautiful birds.

My first flight in a Boeing was in 1973, the plane was the superb 707.

That was a special day and one I will never forget.

Looking out of the plane and seeing the Alps below and the sun shining off those graceful wings.

Too cool for words.
 

God Bless America.
