Boeing 747-400F 1/72


Recommended Posts

Great stuff! I was thinking on constructing Junker G 38  in 1/72 on basis of scaled up Revell 1/144 kit, but never came further than just an idea... This is a Benedictian work, what you show us here!

As a true fan of scratch work I am keeping my fingers crossed for your project!

Powodzenia!

This is an inspiring build, and I am learning a lot by following. 

I have the old Airfix 1/144 L-1011 and had photocopied many of its parts, blown up to 1/72, so as to make it in the one true scale. 

Your build is fantastic, and I am enjoying it a lot.

Hi , Ernest !

I want to ask how you plan to make a wing? The question is that it is necessary to solve the problem of "warping" the part on a sufficiently large elongation.
How did you make the fuselage - worthy of all praise!

Are you planning on sheeting the airframe first then making each panel like the real ones? or just make the panels on the framework?

 

I'm going to skin the whole fuselage first, polish it and then cut the panels.

I can't wait to see you skin this! Have you already chosen a livery?

 

Not yet. I really like the JAL Cargo Silver Bullet (JA401J), but I do not know if I can get a perfectly smooth surface so that the mirror painting looks as original. That is why I still consider whether to do Korean Air painting, Singapore Airlines, All Nippon, Cargolux and many others.

The wing center-section will have metal components for attaching wings. In addition, the spars will either be entirely metal or at least reinforced with metal parts. Otherwise the wings will bend down under their own weight. Under the wings I want to hang the fully reconstructed engines, extend trailing and leading edge flaps, so they will certainly be heavy. I have to significantly strengthen the fuselage at the place the landing gear is attached - it also became very heavy and something could snap.
