Although I don't collect 1:500 models at all, I got a single 1:500 model in my collection, bought a JAL 747-400 as a gift for my nephew.

About the Sky500 Korean 777, I think Sky did a pretty good job here. It's very detailed. Got a question, is Sky's gears plastic or metal ??

N. Eberhard · 04-21-2008, 10:56 PM

Sky500 is a brand name only. They contracted to use this mould, which is 100% diecast metal. The owner of this great mould will be revealed in the near future when he announces his first official release.

BTW, both the 777-200 and -300 were developed simultaneously so we will see both used very soon with this new line of models.

I am a huge collector of widebody 1:500 models (I have 40 747s), so I am super excited to see this new line of models. The next mould to be released is equally as stunning.

Really interesting news, also a 773!!! I'm curious...are you allowed to release some more information? Is there a possibility to see both fuselage molds married with new wings for a 77L and a 77W?

This year the 1/500 scale is flooding!!!

Ben fatto!!

Does anyone know what the final production number is going to be on this bird yet. Going to be in the 300's like the "Freedom of Space" model or more closer to 500 units. Also anyone had any problems with tires(coming off, loose, not rolling properly) on this model.

I have the Malaysia B777 and I never had problems with my model tires; I can add that I don't play with it!

I don't know the number of Korean produced, sorry.

Xogum · 04-28-2008, 07:36 AM

I think is more closer to 500units because there are a lot of shops selling this model. The malaysia was very rare..

angel7 · 04-28-2008, 12:20 PM

I agree with your assesment of around 500. The Malaysia was only 360 units by the way.

aklein707 · 05-10-2008, 03:26 PM
