Hi guys, new to this all. Im Alex, 19 and live in scotland, im a flight dispatcher for servisair at Glasgow Airport(EGPF)

I have been collecting for a number of years, i have a huge range of models, and in so many scales. But my Fav, is 1:200, i have quite a few star jets, 1:200, and a few skymarks, ranging form 737-xxx to A340-600, I have just orderd sky marks new 777-300ER KLM, cant wat for it to arrive. I hope its as good as iv heard.

I don't know if there's a review of the SM KLM 773ER anywhere on this forum. It is missing the words "Nationaal Park De Hoge Veluwe" on the nose that is on the actual aircraft. My only real complaint is (as with most if not all RS/SM models) the seam line on the engine nacelles. I don't know what kind of wing details the actual aircraft has, but on the model only the corrugard is done.

EGPFGLA · 03-17-2008, 01:10 PM

yea thats the only thing im not to sure about, the past RS/SM models iv had the wings have been quite good, the only one that was bad was the 747-400 i have, the engines are really bad on it

Hello!

Nice to have a new member.

EGPFGLA · 03-18-2008, 01:22 PM

Thanks for the warm welcome

EGPFGLA · 03-18-2008, 01:45 PM

One other Q about the skymark 777-300ER, iv noticed on most of there 777 models, the middle of the main gear, on each boggie(no sure if thats the right word) the middle wheel dosent move, because of the way the Gear Leg is attached to the boggie. But i cant seem to find this out for the new KLM 777-300ER? I cant tell in the pics if it moves or not. On the other ones the middle wheel looks higher because it dosent touch the ground, because it dosent move. Hope some already has it.

Thanks

EGPFGLA · 03-20-2008, 02:00 PM

anyone?

mjabbasi · 03-20-2008, 06:54 PM

Yes that is correct. It doesn't move and might be a little higher but I'm sure thats not enough of a deterrant to make you not want to buy it.

EGPFGLA · 03-20-2008, 07:05 PM

Oh its not, iv already bought it, just waiting for the postman to knock on my door with it now.

I just checked my KLM 773ER and my Qatar 773ER and on both, the middle wheel/tyre on the main gear rotate.

EGPFGLA · 03-22-2008, 09:28 PM

Dont suppos you could post a couple of pics of the klm773ER, im dying to seen pics of it, like proper ones close up, the ones online are pants. ? and of the main gear. Thanks?

B773ER · 03-22-2008, 09:34 PM

Maybe Moin can take photos for ya. As you could probably tell from the photos I took of the ANA 773ER, my pictures don't turn out very well.

EGPFGLA · 03-22-2008, 09:37 PM

lol! its ok, so the skymarks KLM 777-300ER, all the main gear wheels turn/roll?

B773ER · 03-22-2008, 09:40 PM

They do on mine.

I don't see why the one you ordered would be any different.

EGPFGLA · 03-22-2008, 09:42 PM

Fantastic, thats made my night, thanks mate

RiSsQ · 03-22-2008, 09:49 PM

It's standard that the wheels roll on these models, isn't it? Or am I completely and utterly wrong?!? :P

EGPFGLA - You must of had a boring evening mate, for that to make your night....hehe. Only pulling your leg.

EGPFGLA · 03-24-2008, 02:48 PM

They sent me the wrong model, got a 1/250 777-200

its nice but not the one i want. so i need to wait another week

superbou · 03-24-2008, 03:26 PM

Welcome on board EGPFGLA.

The B777-300ER is awesome, I have the Hogan AF and it's a pure beauty but the KLM is not bad too though I prefer the Hogan mould.

mjabbasi · 03-24-2008, 05:24 PM

Here are 2 pics I took when I received it a few months back:

I can't recall if the main center wheel rotates or not, but either way it doesn't bother me. In any event, I'd consider its not rotating a safety feature, kind of like an emergency
