Big Bird B.717
For those waiting in anticipation of a Big Bird B.717 model, please note that I have it from very reliable sources, that no such thing exists!
They do have alot more 747's coming though! |

ha! so my guess is right.
BB won't bother to make a 717 mould since 747 is always the best seller. |

I think it would be stupid to make a 717 series because its sooo limited in what you can do while with the 747 its nearly unlimited.

Let's wait and see
Let's wait and see if BigBird survives at all! Maybe the US prime rib steak on their plate is a bit too big, and the Hong Kong sweet and sour sauce is not everybodies taste!

Did we really want that....
Heres a question...Who here is willing to pay the big bird 'price' for a B717??
I don't think I would...stick with the Herpa unless Starjets is willing to step to the mic!

oh, you are right.
717 must be cheaper than 747. |

The 717 should be cheaper, it's smaller. However it could be harder to paint.
