Last summer, my American brother in law offered me a Boeing 777 model (10 parts 'kit' to build without glue). Alas, after coming back to France, all was broken, and mainly the engines were not solid enough, I needed to glue them back on.
Now this is the B777-2000 with tail turbofans above low tailplanes, something never seen anywhere else (I think)...

I really like this one, Tophe! The engines really look good on the tail and give your airliner a much more powerful look than the standard 777.

Well done, mon ami!

Do you mean "only someone over-indulgent like PR19_Kit could like"?

kitnut617 · « **Reply #7 on:** November 03, 2013, 01:17:30 AM »

No, something as odd-ball like this is what I meant

Thanks!
Well, as all was already painted, ready to build, this had been a 10-second building, and the 'repair' took also 2 seconds. Compared to year of work on many great models, I understand I belong to the childish sub-category...

I don't think so Tophe,

But as you say some take a year or so, and others are so simple it's amazing no one else thinks of it. Doesn't make it any less of a neat build.

Very nice Tophe! How about some assymetrical luggage pods on the former wing pylons?

Tophe · « **Reply #11 on:** November 03, 2013, 07:36:59 AM »

Thanks fot this good idea!
Alas there is no room at all, the model is "displayed" with a negative 'ground clearance':

Great idea! :)

finsrin · « **Reply #13 on:** November 04, 2013, 02:35:10 AM »

1-2-3 ALCM(s) on each pylon.

Tophe · « **Reply #14 on:** November 04, 2013, 03:10:48 AM »

ALCM=AirLine CryingMen?

(I prefer civilian)

Dead right, PR19_Kit DOES like it, a lot! :)

Tophe · « **Reply #16 on:** November 04, 2013, 11:26:59 AM »

Thanks a lot Kit!

For the pylon use: if I had room (and spare parts) I could install extra cabins for extra passengers:

lol I'm not sure I'd have the guts to step into what quite clearly is a jettisonable container

I remember Pitch Black, when the ship got into a spot of bother the first thing to go were the cargo/people pods ...........

I understand you, while... in a 1/200 desk model, no 'human' passager will ever be on board
