The shapes of the front windows are correct. They only look small because the outer frame on the model is painted. On the full size they are usually polished making the window look a bit bigger. Look closer to the frame in post #18. They even got the spacing of the HSTB-409 hi-shear fasteners correct. The vortex generators on the real one only extend up ¼” or so. Also there is not aileron trim tab on the right wing. I know all this because I am sitting in the hangar where they are made, and have been servicing the G550 since it entered service. Overall I am very impressed with the work you guys did.


Thanks "450". Glad to hear that.

Lowell

Status: offline 		Looks good Lowell. Lots of room to add detail. I think the main gear follow-up doors are a must as well as the nose follow-up. I am 100% convinced on the CP windows, I will wait for it to come out of completion, maybe the paint will be fix it needs. The faux T/R's are a nice touch and I often deploy them when taxing our 550 so it will look scale to do so on the model. Overall it is an excellent base model and it will give a guy a great platform to build a fine scale model, especially if he has the full size at his disposal for scale documentation. Has anyone posted a price yet?

Even though this is a G-IVSP, the cockpit windows and the cabin window spacing is the same on the G-550. The G-550 just has more of them. I hope to see these corrections, I would love to have a GulfStream of my own someday!


Me too. I worked on the 550 and 650 and would live to have one, just because.

Thanks Dave. I think with scale planes they are never finished! There is always more to do. This is done so that anyone can have a great looking plane without having to do anything but fly it. Yes, we can all take it to the limit, but you know me...I want to fly it and show it off! We will have a special price posted on the web site in a few days, but for now anyone can PM or email me and I will give them a quote.
Thanks again and hope to see you and "the boy" soon!!

Lowell

Lowell, hats off to you and the FEJ team, it's about time we had an offering in the scale world that is not a F16 or some other overdone fighter jet. There are a buch of us molders that work Gulfstreams, Boeings, Airbus', Cessnas, and so on....I am sure commercial aircraft can find a solid home in the modeling world. I was glad to contribute to this project and it's good to see a final product! Looking forward to seeing yours fly, and maybe even see mine fly too!

I am really interested in the big Hawk.....any test flight video out there?

It may be my first FEJ. I got a 200sx that could be available.

Not really, I did ECS HP/LP design work on both for a well known sub contractor, from the comfort of my living room, although we had engineers deployed to GAC Savannah.

I use to say that, but handling these big planes is a chore for me and I run 4 miles a day! Maybe I need to start doing curls just so I can move giant planes around.
