Dang, really like this livery and looking forward to buying one...but that F-awful looking landing gear really ruined it. BTW, is it me or the left wing is flexing higher then the right one?

Probably just that particular model...I tend to ignore the landing gear unless it's really bad, like Schabak or something...

The nose is also a bit off-putting.

I have this one, as well as the Avianca 762. The paint schemes on both models are extremely well done, but alas, this new 762 mold from Dragon leaves a bit to be desired in the nose and landing gear departments. Its a shame, as the old Dragon 762 mold was one of their best.

I'd like to get both this and the Avianca B762... eventually, but after seeing these pictures, I think I'd like to look at the exact model I'm about to buy in person before making a decision.

Is it just me, or does the fuselage change in height between the nose and the tail?

I can deal with the landing gear but not quite the radome/nose. Like you, I am also looking forward to acquiring this model but it may have to be put on hold unless the EOS Airlines B757 is released to complement this model.

Danged! This Is A New Mould? Thier Old Mould Was Awsome. An All Star Mould.
I Better Try & Snap Up A Few More Of The Old Ones. Don't Have Many 762s.

Yep......more genius from Dragon Wings!

Let's take one of our best moulds....and ruin it by making "corrections"
to details that made it a good mould (cockpit, landing gear, tail skid) to begin with!
then release this Livery on the model.

Not the first time DW has ruined their 'awesome' mold. Dang, I still miss their A330/A340 mold from a few years back.
