A few other interesting firsts (for me) today too. Don't think i've ever seen Delta or United taking off and strangely enough i don't think i've ever been at the airport at the same time as a qantas dreamliner.

The main event, QANTAS' new a350-1000ULR. It landed on RWY27 unfortunately meaning that there really isn't any way anyone could've gotten a decent shot of it landing because of how doodoo ass YMML's publicly available spotting vantage points are BUT there it is. This is the most packed i think i have ever seen operations road.

the main thing i'm worried about when i start detailing in earnest is the cockpit glass. The 707 (and 727 and 737) use flat windows and the way the fuselage transitions from curved to flat and back to curved is weirdly incomprehensible to me. I reckon it should hopefully be as "easy" as making a whole bunch of flat planes at funny angles, lopping off some bits and filleting the rest although we all know that probably won't be the case :)

sike i'm using solidworks because it turns out that freeCAD can't use guide lines for lofting. Had a bit of a fuck around with the front fuselage section, as it turns out the side view and the front profiles in the technical drawing i posted don't line up at all whatsoever so i'm kinda just gonna have to do what i was hoping to avoid and do all the loft profiles based on vibes unfortunately.

I want to try make my own model kit of a boeing 707 in 1/200th scale simply because there just isn't one. I've found some pretty good technical drawings and references so i'm fairly confident it's doable. I reckon i'm gonna make life easy and focus on just one model, the -138B. Primarily because that's the model of 707 that john travolta owned (VH-EBM/N707JT) meaning that theres a shit ton of photos of it out there, the fact that they were a model specifically made for QANTAS also helps this decision.
The 707's family tree is convoluted and confusing but in essence, the "138" bit means that it's QANTAS' shortened (by 10ft) version of the original 707-120, and the B means that it has a lot of the changes and upgrades from the Boeing 720 including a wing glove (basically an extension of the leading edge near the wing root to increase sweep angle), JT3D turbofan engines, enlarged vertical and horizontal stabilizers as well as a small ventral fin.
I'll be using freeCAD because i fucking hate myself (and i'm expecting this to take a while and might lose access to my beloved solidworks. Fusion360 looks equally as janky for what i need to use it for tbh) but i have gotten a wing and a panel line so that's evidence enough that it's possible as far as i'm concerned lmao

The issue with studying engineering is knowing that your cohort is 90% drooling retards and you know for a fact that you're more competent, more passionate and more deserving of a job than most of everyone else but in the end you're probably ngmi and they're gonna make it big solely because you don't interview as well (ie: not as good at lying and bullshitting and asskissing)
