I was browsing around Project Opensky's website the other day and came across this beauty. They did an excellent job.
Boeing has 2 of them in service now and is in the process of making a 3rd one( if it isn't already in service), to carry parts for the 787 Dreamliner. I've seen them at KPAE and KBFI
I took that picture last summer at KPAE.

PS. If you download it you'll have to adjust the payload and fuel because it's to heavy to takeoff before she reaches the end of the runway.

I am not a modeller so please allow this question:
Is it hard for a modeller to convert his flyable aircraft to an AI one? I know a bit about the LOD's and sure there may be a different *.air file needed. Would it be easier to create a new model from scratch instead of converting the flyable one? (No, I am not going into modelling - just want to understand the modellers a bit better )

You cannot convert a User model into an AI model. For a start you are looking at a model that has possibly 30000 polys to one with less than 4000. It is not simply a factor of ammending some small details, you would need to create a completely seperate model. Also User models are usually 1LOD and AI models are multi LOD and usually have many different animations and the usual control surfaces dont work.
I could elaborate more but I'd go on all day about it.

This is becoming quite a regular visitor at Prestwick nowadays sharing the ramp with the more prevalent AN124. Weird looking thing though.
Hopefully one of the TFS or AIA or even PAI modelers will produce this in an AI format.
