You realize that's not a Whiff, right?  Boeing is building it for transporting 787 components from Wichita to Everett

Yeah, but I really want to see it in NASA-ish colors as well ;-)

Actually I *think* this may be one of the predecessor plans that led to the LCF - the "bulge" here looks a little taller than the one that is actually being built, although that may well be just artistic liscense....plus the Shuttle Carrier type tail...

The conversions are being built in Taiwan by one of the Evergreen International divisions, another division will be operating the aircraft in conjunction with Cargolux and Sojitz. The aircraft will be ferrying parts form Japan and Italy as well as Kansas and South Carolina. The first one should be showing up in Everett early next year.

A seires of photos of the conversion work have been making the rounds at Boeing...its a big mutha.
