I know they've got a seam, but I am not anti-seam (nor anti-plastic, etc). Asides from that, I think JC's 727s are really good, and their -100 is better than their -200. This is a very cool release, I also have the MD-80 on pre-order. @YesterAirlines are you going to dedicate a piece to this unducted fan engine mold?

We should be seeing more releases on this mould, but yeah with JC, that's another story...
I did get this model, but it has been caught in the backlog and not sure if I'll review it. I also have the MD-80 UDF on preorder so as you say maybe a piece on the site for it might be good?
A very cool model! I could see Patriot releasing this, if they had access to a B727-100 mould

By the way, I was wondering if the whole UDF engine on this model is out of proportion. Here's a pic of the real:
and here's Jorge's pic:
The whole thing looks bigger... the pylon is also longer and too raised up when compared to the real version

Looking at that front shot I was thinking that it didn’t look right
. The whole UDF always looked odd, but the model looked extra odd. I have a feeling we might see it in 1:200 also, hopefully with better proportions.
Are the props static or do they spin? I think the prop blades should be shorter

From the photos looks like they'd spin

Even a blank model would be a lovely option for this mould for those of us eager to make some customs.

They both spin.

There is no question that JC didn't refine the proportions of that engine. If I had to guess, I'd say they rushed things a bit to compete against Patriot and HX and their trend on innovative designs.
Yes I noticed this as well, although I wasn't entirely sure as my model came with the pylon broken and it took me an age to fix it. You are 100% right the engine is too big and the pylon canted too high, but I admit the model looks pretty good anyway. I actually think the blades are fine - just the nacelle is a little large.
@Jazajia they have already made this in 200 scale
