Panzerwomble Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Dale - who are "they" and why are "they" so mean ?? Every week we come here and suplicate for oodels of new 1/32 aircraft , and all we get is re runs of aircraft that have been covered many times before , it's worse than daytime TV . You need to have a word with "them" ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's supposedly a new 1:144 747 SP on the way, if it hasn't already been released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, any Canberra outside of a vac-form. Extremely significant airplane, and kits of it have been so hit and miss for years now.

firefly7 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Kevin, that looks like a 747-400 to me. Eastern Express has just released an IM 747- SP in 1/144. Both Qantas & TWA markings. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeroen_R90S Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 SPAD XVII I'd buy one in a heartbeat, but I guess any company doing one would probably sell about as much as were made of the real thing (~20) Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeroen_R90S Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Definately true! As I was unable to find a Hobbycraft SPAD XIII, I'm already happy that a XIII is coming. Who knows, Roden did the rather obscure Fokker D.VI, Siemens-Schuckert D.III and Albatros D.I as well, so if there is enough re-usable, parts-wise it just might happen. I've built my share of Roden kits (1/72 so if it's going to be better than their 1/72 Fokker D.VII I'm happy already Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The -300 (also has an extended upper deck) has the original wing without winglets - the wing root at the leading edge is different. ANA did/do operate some 747-400s on domestic routes which don't have the winglets though. The 747SP is very noticeably shorter in the fuselage, and the 747-8 is noticeably longer, but I don't think QANTAS operate those.
