That's what I wanna know, I'm guessing, as well as others that this might be either 5* or NM. According to the box (at least the UPS 747), it is stated as a "licnesed by Boeing" product, so it probebly will nto be too hard to find them in stores around the world, unless this is a false claim and they're trying to fool Boeing (which is not likely to happen, and if anything, is likely to help sharpen their search for who is responsible for the pirated models.)

AviationMegastore.com

I think post #21 should have the photo of the box. I highly question the validility of the "Licnesed by Boeing" logo though. I'm assuming that the 777 will sport a similar box with a similar "Boeing" logo on it.

They are neither 5stars or any other previously released mould. For those who get this release in their hands they will see that it is the best 1/500 777 on the market. I am attempting to source a few of these from Asia. So far the chances look pretty good. I was told that future releases will be more widely available.

Sky500 is the name used by the store which contracted to have the MAS 777 made. It remains to be seen how many 'exclusives' they have made with this mould. But I can tell you that this mould will be used a lot more with a different name on the box.

Karun...I will save you one of these assuming I do get the ones I requested. I will know soon. BTW, it is best to contact me at the business email about this as well.

I dont know the differences myself. I leave that up to the micrometer mafia to figure out.

I have held this mould in my hands, but I do not have one here right now.

Oh ok! I've ordered a few models from your establishment in the past and have always have a good experience in doing so. Would you happen to have an eta for the arrival of the ups 747?

Sorry...I have no source for that model at this time. If my source for the MAS knows how to get a few then I will do my best.
