pperkins Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 why is it that bad lookes better then the 400 one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMChladek Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Ahhh yes, this kit brings back some good memories. Are the 200 windows on the upper deck just flashed over? Reason I ask is the E-4 uses a few windows on the upper deck, not just the -100 three window banks (the E-4A did I believe). The decal sheet looks great! Does this kit have a 1/144 diagram to show the placement of the small antennas? The original kit did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomprobert Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Sorry to hijack the thread but which airlines can you build from the kit in the box?Antony Many of the later 747-200 operators used the GE CF-6 engine so there are plenty of options: A few that come to mind... Lufthansa KLM Martinair Air France Wardair Canada Varig ANA Alitalia Thai CargoLux Pakiastan Airlines Phillipine Airlines UTA Royal Jordanian Air Gabon You've also got a wealth of airlines that would have used second hand examples too. The only problem may be finding decals of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pperkins Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 what engines do i need for the list that i am doing, which is above?Also where can i get them from? You need the airfix engines that u get in the airfix kit also braz do them. But it's hard to get the airfix ones to fit I have been filling and sanding the airfix ones to fit this it for the last 5 hours and just got then to fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best way to produce a B747-300 for Cathay would be to use the Airfix 747-100/200 as a base (or even better the E-4B) and then put the upper deck from the Revell B747-400 on to it. The -300 has a different wing root to the -400, and thus it is not a case of simply leaving off the winglets. The -400 also has a 6ft wing extension over the classics at the tip, and then the winglet is attached to that. For a Cathay -300 you'll need Braz's short nacelle RB211s. I'm planning to do the same conversion, but I'm going to do Qantas Nalanjii Dreaming which is an identical aircraft to the Cathay 747-300s. Don't throw away the -200 upper deck or the rest of the -400 kit as you could mate the two and produce a -400 freighter. I did that with Cargolux decals, and I'm using the rest of the leftovers to make the Qantas -300. Waste not, want not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
