Default Royal Brunei 777 N207UA

Hey guys here is my most recent custom, the real aircraft was painted to be delivered to Royal Brunei but unfortunatelly that won`t happen at least not for now, I registered this one N207UA although Royal Brunei reg was going to be V8-RBU, enjoy it folks, and thank you for all my customers that have been waiting but I have no control of the weather, thanks for understanding.

Your doors appear to be on the large side.

Correct 777 door size for 1/400 artwork should be around 4.95 x 2.68 mm

You did a good job here MC... Nothing much to say, the door looks a little big, but I think it is only because of the strong black door line that makes it appear larger than it normally is.

My friend if we are going to talk about imperfections let`s also mention that I did not go to Marana to get a paint sample for the yellow, that I didn`t get permission from the the government of Brunei, I assure you that if we take measurements to every single model in 1:400 scale NONE are correct, this is not even mentioning the wrong engines, no activators in the main landing gear among other stuff, like I said before even if we take a 1:1 scale model there are still going to be people that will find imperfections, but you know what I can leave with it, do you?

I heard some issues with RBA and the leasing company and the internal problems within the RBA management etc.

I doubt this plane will join the RBA fleet.

Well i'm the one who ordered that custom plane as I know it won't be joining the RBA fleet.

I'm so impress with his works and he has talents and great skills; painting and applying decals to the small plane.That's why I'm so happy when looking at the pics.

I can't wait to get hold of it.

Some might want to go to Marana to get such simple but extremely important detail correct, others might just want to open Boeing's tech. characteristic sheets, enter the info they provide and have an accurately scale door artwork within 20 secs. Where's the problem, master?

Most people welcome feedback and improve from it, others should just grow a thicker skin.
If you're not able to take criticism then I'm really sorry for you and your customers. You're taking money for these models after all.

I have to agree with the original poster. Some people are just too picky. They expect 110% accuracy on a tiny aircraft. It's not going to happen. I don't know why people get so wound up about it.

The only thing here is the door size, I didn't mention any other details, so lets just leave it at that.

As I said, the door size is one of the few things in decal artwork creating that can be done correctly with an effort of possibly just 1min - as long as manufacturer data is available which is the case on the 777.

FM have done this in 1:200. Its not that great, but its there. Its a shame that RBA is unable to do anything about its fleet and ironical considering that one of the worlds richest men owns that country but he doesn't give a toss about the airline. If he wanted to he could turn that airline into something the likes of SIA or EK but looking at the state of the airline right now proves how much interest he shows in it.
