Stunning miniature replica of an Air New Zealand Dreamliner

A stunning scale model replica of an Air New Zealand Dreamliner is ready to take flight.

A model plane enthusiast from Germany, who goes by Ramy RC, has built a remote-controlled miniature Boeing 787-9 complete with the distinctive black-and-white livery of the airline.

The 32-year-old regularly posts videos of his popular work on his YouTube channel as a hobby, appealing for funding.

He has made about 20 planes in the past seven years, the biggest one was the Boeing 777-9X with a 3.6m wingspan.

"I love aviation and I love to fly RC airplanes," Ramy told the Herald.

He enjoyed solving puzzles as he built the models, he said, adding that they were not easy to make.

"I like to challenge myself to do things no one has done before and of course I enjoy flying them."

But his latest Kiwi inspired work really struck a chord with its creator.

"The Dreamliner is a masterpiece," he said.

It had flown well and that he planned on publishing the video on YouTube this Friday at 3pm GMT, he said.

A recent video showcases the build process as he meticulously laboured away for months to get all the details right.

The final product weighs about 16kg and has a wingspan of 3m.

When it is stood on one end, it towers above its owner.
