I just picked this set up at my local LEGO® store. Its a cool set and was fun to
build. I do have some small grips with the nose and the fact that LEGO® removed
the second color from the jet.

That is a link to some artist drawings of the 787 from the Boeing site. As you
can see there is a lighter blue on top of the blue. This is not present in the
LEGO® model. Also you can see with the blue cone on the nose it doesnt look
anything like the real aircraft. But these are small grips. If I take the time I
am sure I could tweak the model to look more like the actual aircraft. It would
be fun to try to rebuild this model in a current airline colors scheme.
Also this set does not come with any landing gear.
