tomprobert Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Here is my latest civil build: the new, updated version of the iconic Boeing 747 - this being the 747-8 Intercontinental version. Lufthansa is the only airline to operate this beauty at the moment, but others such as Korean and Transaero will also be taking deliveries. As usual all paints were from Halfords. Now, here's a question to the 747 experts - which kit is this? Revell or Zvezda? Still Queen of the Skies? Too right! Tom 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Lovely job as usual Tom! Can I ask what colour you used for the wheel wells and undercarriage struts? The Zvezda instructs call for gloss gull grey. I have just started a 747-8f conversion from this kit and it is going together nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike DeTorrice Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 A masterful build of this magnificent 747 ! This iconic jumbo jet is ideally presented in your images. It's a real jewel of a model aircraft. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomprobert Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thank you for the kind words... Can I ask what colour you used for the wheel wells and undercarriage struts? The Zvezda instructs call for gloss gull grey. I have just started a 747-8f conversion from this kit and it is going together nicely. I did the wheel bays grey and the legs themselves aluminium. The hubs were done in a dark grey to represent brake dust etc. Not sure if that's correct though. I plan to do a 8F one day too - BA World Cargo colours look nice. Have you a build thread running?

Tom Thanks Tom, No thread yet, though I have been taking pictures of my progress. Just been slack in downloading and formatting the pictures. Mine will be a QANTAS What-If. QANTAS have announced they are replacing a leased B747 (from Atlas I think) with a B747-400ERF that will be in their QANTAS Freight markings. I am going one better with the B747-8f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
