Cimmerian Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Greetings all. Going to attempt something out of the ordinary for me - Ive been doing so much military stuff I just fancied a change. I decided I want to do a Virgin Atlantic 747-400, in the 2010 livery - I rode "Mustang Sally" I believe when my wife and I went on honeymoon to Orlando, so thought that would be a great model to do! I dont know ANYTHING about civil stuff so this is going to be a fun build for me, Im not going for accuracy just something that will look nice on the shelf So here goes, popped off to TAHS the other weekend and pick up one of these: 1/144 Seemed a bit big for my gaff so I went for the 1/200. Kit seems nice, bummer about the raised panels, so they are coming off. Im going to build a lighting circuit for this also - would be cool to have it in flight and blinking away - any of you guys have some good references as to the light sequences and positions on a 747? more soon!

Kev1n Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 can't help with the lighting part but as far as accuracy goes, Hasagawa's kit is better than most so you have a good starting point. There might be some fit issues around the wing root and if your doing it 'in-flight' then you wont have to worry about the gear, which is a bit simplified. Apart from that, it's a good kit.
