Zvezda Models 1/144 Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a mid-sized, wide-body, twin-engine jet airliner currently under development by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. Depending on the variant, its maximum seating capacity in a one-class configuration ranges from 290 to 330 passengers. Boeing claims that the Dreamliner will be more fuel-efficient than its previous airliners, and it will be the first major commercial aircraft to utilize composite materials for the majority of its construction.

This highly detailed plastic model kit of the 1/144 scale Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner comes with 76 parts across 3 sprues, as well as a set of decals. However, paint and glue are not included and will need to be purchased separately.

The use of composite materials in the Dreamliner's construction is a significant departure from traditional metal airframes. These advanced composite materials, which include carbon fiber-reinforced polymer, are lighter and more durable than aluminum, allowing for improved fuel efficiency and reduced maintenance requirements. By using composites for the majority of the airframe, Boeing aims to provide airlines with a more economical and environmentally-friendly aircraft option.

In addition to the lightweight construction, the Dreamliner also features a number of other technological advancements, such as more-electric architecture, which reduces the use of hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and advanced avionics and in-flight entertainment systems. These innovations contribute to the aircraft's enhanced performance, reduced operating costs, and improved passenger experience.

As a mid-sized wide-body jet, the Dreamliner is designed to fill the gap between smaller narrow-body aircraft and larger jumbo jets, allowing airlines to optimize their route networks and fleet compositions. With its impressive range, fuel efficiency, and passenger capacity, the Dreamliner is poised to become a popular choice for both short- and long-haul commercial flights.

This detailed 1/144 scale model kit allows aviation enthusiasts and modelers to recreate the impressive engineering and design of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. With its accurate detailing and high-quality construction, this model kit provides an engaging and rewarding building experience, allowing modelers to showcase their passion for modern aircraft design and technology.
