Star Wars 787

[kfutter]

Very pleased to have these decals arrive late last week:





Ignore the labelling; they're 1/144 scale. Trouble is, I only have the Zvezda 787-800 kit, and I'm not sure I want to chop it up to make a 900. I believe Zvezda has a 900 in the works for release later this year, so maybe I'll just hold on until then.

The -9 is coming very soon Kev. So hold on to your 8.

Can you tell us more about the decals please? Are they laser or screen printed?

Slight topic drift - seeing the movie tonight with the wife. This in itself is mind-blowing, in that my wife hates "sci-fi". Hmm, the Force moves in mysterious ways!

This can be remedied - go out and immediately watch all six episodes - then see the latest episode at your nearest cinema. Then all will be right and the Force will be back in balance within you!

The Force is now telling me to get back to the weeding, whipper-snipping and mowing - AARRRRGGGH!

They're from Jon Ochoa at Decs Ochoa (or 8a Decs - never really sure what the company name is supposed to be). He was selling them only via Facebook, as he wanted to keep their existence away from Disney's lawyers (so they're not available to order from his website). From what I can tell, they're laser-printed, with a tiny 3-decal addition that appears to be silkscreen-printed. They look really good to the naked eye, so it will be interesting to see how they (eventually) perform.

Glad to hear that 900 kit isn't far away, Tony. I seem to recall being told it was due in the second half of this year. Any idea how far away it really is?

Just for the blonde

Kev, is there only the one decal sheet, in otherwords, no windows or doors?

That's right, no windows or doors. Just one large laser-printed sheet, and one tiny screen-printed one. I've seen a set from a different source on eBay recently, but I don't think it had window decals either.
