Boeing 747-8F Cargolux LX-VCM, Revell&Zvezda&co., 1/144


Recommended Posts

Few days ago I finished another "long-term" project. It was my challenge since Apr. 2019.

Small diorama with Boeing 747-8F in Cargolux Cutaway special livery on airfield fragment.

The kit is mainly Revell, but, due to poor quality of some pcs. I took from Zvezda's 747 all the wheels (Revell's are to small), front landing bay and gear, engine's fans.

Then I spent many hours scratching cargo compartment. At the end, to bring more 'life' to the diorama I ordered some, available online, stuff from ROCAST Models, which are superb.

Naturally I had to add some photoetched parts - I bought Microdesign  144220, which has some issues, but most parts are ok.

As usual, sorry for, probably too many, pictures.

I agree!

Absolutely awesome! And you have answered a question for me about the fit of the Zvezda engine fans into the Revell engines. Bravo!

Hi Piotr.....
 

Wow. This one even gets two WOWs! I have to say there certainly is NOT anything “small” about this project. Everything about it is VERY large!! Absolutely amazing. Your work here is beautiful, and very meticulous; I am enjoying the detail, and the attention to detail that most would overlook. Makes this one look about as real as real gets, without being “real.” Even down to the chocks under the main gear. Quite ingenious and imaginative! The cargo floor looks so real. Thank you for sharing...so very inspiring. One more time.....WOW. :clap:

 

Cheers!
