1:200 Scale Plastic Snap-Fit – Boeing 787-8 – Length:11.25" Wingspan: 12"
This Sky Marks 787-8 has great details, from the wing panels to the color and markings on the fuselage and engines. All is where it is supposed to be. The fuselage feels dense (heavy) than other brand models of the same scale and size. The reason for the difference in weight is because Sky Marks actually have a solid fuselage.
This model version has no landing gear it comes with a stand.
All in all the Sky Marks line of models is very high quality, the materials and details are very impressive.
Things to notice in this line:
- Accurate (more or less) shaped fan blades inside the engines
- The fan blades inside the engines CAN ROTATE (if you blow onto the turbines/engines, the fan blades will turn)
The packaging is also very good. All the parts have their own space in several plastic shells that are stacked on top or inside one another and are fitted into the box.
