It's actually a gift for someone who loves the Boeing 777-300ER, now I just have to figure out whether or not they'll appreciate the silver colour, higher-quality model, or the one that actually says the model of the plane on it... Hrm...
What would you guys recommend?

The original 777-300 was bare metal; the 773ER is white with Boeing red white and blue stripes and gray globe. (Note also the ER has raked wingtips.) Only drawback with models simulating a bare metal finish is that many companies will, for economic reasons mould the fuselage and other parts in a silver plastic; if the plastic isn't moulded in one shot or cools irregularly you'll get imperfections in the finish. PacMin uses a silver gray paint to simulate natural metal.
