to JC Willy: JC 727 mould issue

European Collector · 09-19-2012, 05:01 AM

like the GJ mould the JC 727 moulds are perfect and i am really happy about every single release... but there is ONE small issue:

the maingear...
the struts are too short (which puts the model on a horizontal level) and the wheel diameter needs to be a little smaller...as the 727 (the 727-1 more than the 727-2 due to the shorter fuselage) has got a slight dragster-look.

i already said it is a minor issue, but if you are able to rework the maingear please do it - the 727 models would look 100% spot on!

Thanks a lot for some great models, and keep up the good work!

How is it that you can say the model is perfect, then go on to nitpick the size of the main gear and tires?

maybe what you said is nitpicking aswell

when you go back to school days you also have an "A" degree when you just have answered 98% or 99% of the questions in the exams correctly... "A" degree = perfect mould - you get my point!?

a 2% error is about the size of a nit in my book.

I'm sorry, maybe the term "perfect" doesn't mean the same thing to you as it does to the English language. "Perfect" means without flaw, not with a 1% or 2% problem. Just pointed out the inconsistency of your statement, is all.

The 727-100/200 main gear tires should be the same size as 747SP, nose gear tires are close to 757-100/200, what are they using now ?

the issue should quite easy to fix...GJ uses a different undercarriage on their 727 models...looks more accurate to me.
please contact GJ and use their specs concerning the undercarriage...
