Default 747 Dreamlifter

I just landed in Taipei today and saw the real thing, impeccable in it's Boeing livery parked at EVA's hangar.
I remember seeing the first ones being converted, unpainted...then in primer...
When are we going to see the Dreamlifter in 1/200? Would like to open the swivel door and see some interior too, maybe even insert some 787 sections/parts?!

I wonder if it could be balanced on a stand right without tipping?
it would still be a nice model.

Actually I doesn't look bigger than the A380 at all. I've been on MSN007 back in September and that was quite an experience, there were some B747 Freighters parked beside it for comparison.
The wingspan of the A380 is greater than that of the 747. but the fuselage in both models seem quite big.
