I think most of the 'slide rule analysts' work for JCW.
I bought the JCW ANA 787-9 on this mold and was really disappointed. The low engines and no ground clearance was the issue to me before I even got top high window line. (glad someone pointed this out. I'm pretty good with structural stuff but not with cheatline and window height). I sure hope JCW fixes this because the rest of the mold looks pretty good.
I don't want a model that doesn't 'look right'. I don't care if the height was accurate for an aircraft loaded to its maximum gross take off weight. Most Boeings sit slightly nose low on the ground and the 787 is no exception. I want one that looks like the pictures that I see of the real thing. The problem to me looks like under sized main gear on the new JCW mold. It doesn't matter what the exact problem is. I won't buy another one until the problem is fixed. Oh, while you are at it JCW, please put a slightly smaller nose wheel on the model too.
