I'm sure someone will come along with a better 787 in the near future. As has been mentioned, the nose is all wrong, and that VC leaves a lot to be desired. :-X

Save your pennies, IMO.

Now I know I need better glasses, but I can't really spot what makes the Abacus FS model so "hideous" in comparison with an artist's rendition.

Nose is too round, but still, it looks okay.  I might try it out when I get home later, but right now im on a business jet high

Sorry but that looks aweful, by payware standards. The model looks acceptable, but the texturing, ewwwww......

I dont understand why they release such shody work? They obviously can model so why don't they just spend a bit more time and produce something special, or at least nice...

I brought the Carrier Opps thing ages ago, and is officially the worst thing i've ever brought. Can't believe there isnt a law against them selling this junk >:(

You are now on my doo-doo list!  The Hellcat was modelled perfectly! (well, the outside and basic textures, at least)

TBH, the stock CFS2 Hellcat is good enough. ;D

Pooh!

(Of course, you do know that the Abacus Hellcat in Carrier OPs is (partly) my model?)

Yeah I'm not too sure about Abacus to begin with.  I bought the Flight Deck Three and was grossly disappointed with the aircraft in the package.  

And as for the 787, it doesn't have the dreamliner nose at all, it looks like a 737 nose.

Ah! So that's why you are rather touchy about any Abacus posts that are negative ;D
