Cookenbacher Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 This is my first completion in almost two years; a 1/200 China Airlines Hasegawa 747-400 for a friend at work who has started a collection. He wanted a ready built one (like the MD-11 and 767 in the background) but couldn't find one, so I volunteered to build it for him. I couldn't find any transfers for a China Airlines 747 so used some made for an MD-11 for the lettering and masked the stripes and markings myself. The windows have been filled with crystal clear and maybe a shade or two have been closed by sleepy passengers using plasticard glued from the inside. I think it'll be happy with its new friends - jumbos, they grow up so fast. 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme H Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 What a great finish, your Coroguard looks very realistic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Just like that, out of nowhere???? It's great to see you back with a completed model, Cookie! And what an excellent job!! So, what's next? Will you be posting a WIP? Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Excellent result there Cookie! The three look really great together. I've been asked to do a build for someone else also, and it focuses your mind I think, even though my one is not my usual scale. Well done Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a new WIP on the way here in the Mustang STGB. 19 hours ago, Terry1954 said: Excellent result there Cookie! The three look really great together.

Thanks Terry, same here, this was my first non-1/72 build since returning to the hobby, and my first airliner. It's amazing how much different the required techniques are! 19 hours ago, busnproplinerfan said: A nice collection of classics, hard to say that now. It's true, it doesn't seem that long ago that the -400, MD-11 and 767 were state of the art, and now they're retired/retiring. 16 hours ago, stevej60 said: Beautifully finished (all three)!

Your friend must be chuffed to have that added to his collection. Thank you Jason, he was really happy, so it was fun to see someone else at work overly obsessed with an aeroplane model. He has to leave his collection in his office as it turned out not to be a popular choice for home decor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Looks great! Your friend can be well pleased with that - it looks awesome next to the other airliners too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimme Shelter Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Oh yes, very nice and just up my street - a 1/200 747 (my all time favourite kit out of Japan.) Your livery is superb - well done - she looks nice and clean too which is a nice change, a perfect display piece. I have not read the comments above but I am pretty sure I have seen decals for AC on the web and most certainly in the big box of decals that Tony has hidden over at Aviation Hobby in West Drayton - but that is a long way from Mexico! Great work on your other 1/200 Loveliners too - superb models and great space savers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
