Gimme Shelter Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 On 11/15/2019 at 11:26 PM, Turbofan said: John, how about converting the Zvezda 747-8 to a -400? It's not really that difficult, I know your skills are up to the task! Cheers, Ian cheers for the flattery Ian - I have a 1/200 Hasegawa 747 on the shelf of assembly which was headed for a set of chatham BA decals - I need to get that done first, then the AA -400 in BOAC blues before I start cutting up Zvezda and Revell kits - but I will give it a go. I picked up a cheap Zvezda 74-8 at the Nationals for £10 with that idea very much in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelter Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hi Alistair I've already complimented you on this superb build and choice of livery. You asked for comments or tips and there are few I can offer other than the recommendation that if you build this kit again, that you might want to pack out the cheeks of the aircraft around the first class windows and 1st entry door on both P & S sides of the plane. I built the same kit twice this year : a Qantas Wanula Dreaming variant without filling the cheeks and filling the panels lines, and more recently a BA version but with the fuselage panel lines filled and the cheeks corrected. I've found these photos that I took after I had improved the cheeks which otherwise have a sunken in look to them Hope this helps John 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved your BA 744 on the approach... the extended flaps and slats look impressive and really being her to life. I will definitely take this tip onboard if I make another 747 in the future.

Malair Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Fantastic build, especially for the Revell kit. I have build that kit a couple of times, but never made one that truly satisfied me. Probably go for the Authentic Airliner version next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
