Is the nose of PHX 9V-SYE really accurate?
I did a search and compared the standard PHX B777 noses.
Can anyone see the difference? Or is it due to the camera angles? The ones on the database also looks a little wrong.. I'm concerned since I have ordered 9V-SYE :'(

One thing's for sure...the cockpit windows on the JAL are off.

That's the thing about Phoenix 777's...the mould is amazing, but they can really do something about the cockpit windows of some of their models. They tend to get them right on the SIA ones, but they're wrong on most of the other ones (except Air Canada)

So which one is accurate? The STAR ALLIANCE SIA plane or the JAL one? The one on the SIA plane seems to have cockpit windows a little too big.

So was this your intention? You know, the last few threads, polls, thread bumps you had done, regarding the now infamous 9V-SYE?

No. I was just enquiring about the general opinion of the nose but it now seems there are a string of attacks targetted at PHX.

Re: Is the nose of PHX 9V-SYE really accurate?
I think that the height of the JAL is right; it's more narrow at the front
where the left and right side of the windows is more accurate for the SQ, but I can't really tell if the front is as narrow.
They might look different from the real thing because of how we look at things in different scale. The best way is to look at it with one eye because your stereo vision will fool you.
And best to compare it with a blueprint rather than something at a perspective angle.
Following is a link to the boeing 777 top and side view. Hope this helps.

Really? Doesn't seem that way to me. In fact, if anything, most people seem to like the Phoenix 777s quite a bit. The people on this thread have simply added their honest opinions. No sign of a flame war here.
