Timo Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Isn't this an amazing colour scheme for a cargo jet? Cathay Pacific painted one of its 747-8 Freighters in this special "Hong Kong Trader" livery which highlights Hong Kong's skyline. B-LJA entered service in late 2011 and has been seen at Manchester occasionally. This build isn't Revell's 747-8F kit but a conversion of Zvezda's 747-8i passenger version. The extended passenger top deck has been chopped out and replaced with a resin top deck section from Authentic Airliners. Passenger windows and doors have been filled. Fuselage colours are custom paints made by mixing white, light grey, blue and green to match pictures on airliners.net. Masking the diamond shapes was a bit challenging. Decals are from Nazca who have many special airliner liveries in their catalogue. Thanks for looking Tim 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeW Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 "Masking the diamond shapes was a bit challenging" Talk about the understatement of the year. What a magnificent result. Sounds like she underwent a lot of surgery during construction. Great job, you must be very proud. Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
