Boeing 2707-300 1:200 scale model

[galgot]

First model I did when I got my 3d printer early 2024. I used as a base a 1:400 model done in 2019, that I had printed through an online service. Upscaled it, and had to redo/add lots of parts and details. Here some few images.






I assembled (that is fully glued ) only one copy that was printed in crappy light grey washable resin, and just gave it a white paint and simple stand :







Also did a assembly notice for it Completely inspired by a vintage brand I suppose many will recognize.







Then I moved to the 1:144 scale Boeing 733-197 I'm working on now.

Oooh, would you be willing to sell the files to print one?

Oooh, would you be willing to sell the files to print one?

Sorry, nope.
My intent is to eventually sell these kits printed. I'm looking for ways to make a "production" profitable for me, cause for now, it's only me and my sole printer, and printing just one kit takes too long time (and misses sometime) to make it something workable.
So it's in progress. Dunno if I'll manage to work it out, but it's fun trying.

Well, let us know when you have one to sell, I'm good for one.

Add me to the list, bonus if it’s 1/144. Looks fantastic.

I'd be interested in a kit too, if you make it work out.

Hi, sorry for late response. For the moment I have difficulties producing enough parts with consistent quality and still have other things to settle before starting selling these.
I hope to have solved most of the problems after April. If so, I'll give you more informations here on how to obtain these models at that time.

For the moment, a front fuselage with a drooped nose as been done, as well as wings with slats and flaps/flaperons all down and LG with oleos extended, so to give option to build the model as in landing or take-off configuration (like my 733-197 model) :

 

[Jorge FR]

Hi again. I will interested the model as you got in previous pictures with the nose up and the landing gears.

Regards

Even so, the wonders of modern technology are indeed wonders.

And yes, I do recognize the style of that vintage brand. Given the givens of the era they had some pretty nice kits and some fun kits, in several genres.

Looking forward to it!

Oh, crud, I might have to buy two! One in flight and one on the ground...

 

[Skyraider3D]

This is wickedly awesome.
I love the wink to Matchbox as well

Hey Ronnie !!
Happy you like it. I'll have to make changes to that notice anyway, added and modified some pieces since.

 

[RareBird]

Wow, just awesome work, Love it!!!!!!

If there is a list, please put me on it, and thanks for sharing!

 

[Foo Fighter]

It is a fine sight for these sore eyes to see. Very nicely done.

 

[galgot]

Hi !
As some expressed interest in this kit, I can say it is available for sale here :
https://www.ebay.com/itm/127842570971

Here is the full instruction notice to give you an idea. It has options for wings, nose and LG in different configurations :
http://galgot.free.fr/sstmodels/SSTModels-B2707-300.pdf

Please keep in mind that though some lucky ones got their models before the « production » was fully settled, it’s still quite slow (can only do 10 per month, that is when I don't have too many failed prints...), so availability may vary.

Also note there are no decals nor stand included.
These will come separately when I found ways to have them made at good enough quality.
I am planning other stuff later, and at larger scale for sure, but for that it needs more and bigger printers

Hopefully the sales of this first model will permit that. hope you like it.

Some images :

Beautiful, I can’t wait to order one

You ought to announce your model kit on the Airlinercafé website - https://airlinercafe.com

Oh wow, thanks @Caravellarella ! I didn't know about this website.

Dear Galgot, it's a good website, but the process for posting imagery therein is arcane and ridiculous...

I can’t wait to see your future releases. Just auto deduct it from my credit card and send when ready

Hoping for an L-2000 some day. Lovely work.

I wasn’t planning on painting it, as my model skills are mostly limited to assembly, but I assume a base layer of primer probably protects the plastic long term?

Still patiently waiting for the La Jetee SST book. The 2707 and L-2000 are my two favourite what ifs. Just beautiful huge machines, what I’d give to go back in time and see the mock up at the Florida church. I’d probably actually sit through a sermon for once!

Indeed, resin reacts to UV light, so a layer of primer is mandatory. Moreover, even though I printed at max precision settings (0.02mm layer thickness, that is why it takes so long) and oriented the pieces the best I could on the print bed, there are still places where you may see printing artefacts as very thin lines. The way I deal with these is at least two coats of standard Tamiya grey primer (in cans), with a light sanding in between. That's how I did with the grey ones above.

And yes, so many nice SSTs models to do

 

[Landor742]

Great, hopefully at the same scale! I’d love to build a collection on the top of my bookcase.

Eagerly await these. Really just a beautiful jet and the detail you have in them is amazing. Of course I ordered two so I could do in flight and on approach!

 

[Landor742]

Have these now, wanted to attest to how extraordinary they are. I never thought I’d see a 2707 model with this much detail. It’s really stunning work and I thank Galgot for producing it! I will certainly order any future SST models.

What a shame we never saw the real one. I’d give anything for just the mockup to have survived.

 

[Scott Kenny]

Need to find funds for model #2.

I want to paint one as Air Force 1 and the other as a Northwest Airlines "Red Tail".

I wasn’t planning on painting it, as my model skills are mostly limited to assembly, but I assume a base layer of primer probably protects the plastic long term?

After the gray primer, get the model really smooth (wet sand with 600-1000grit sandpaper), spray gloss black, then get a rattle can of Titanium gray metallic. Go really easy on the titanium metallic, make your first pass thin enough to need a second coat.

What a shame we never saw the real one. I’d give anything for just the mockup to have survived.

Dude, the Mockup survived and it's in the back room of the Museum of Flight to be conserved and set up for an exhibit!

 

[Landor742]

The nose did, but I think the rest of it was scrapped.
