Taking a shot at getting back into aircraft as a break from tanks and what not. So put these 3 on the bench today, all 1/144 scale.
SU-47, La-F5N and 747-8

Which kit is the 747-8, and what livery do you plan?

It is the Zvezda kit and I have a set of Lufthansa decals ordered. Initially I thought QANTAS, it was only as I was packing my suitcase to come home I realised it was an 800, not a 400 :oops: , not sure how I missed it when I bought the kit.

What about back converting the-800 to a -400?

Or would you rather battle the Revell -400 for a QF one?

Just noticed this thread, any more work on the 747-8i?

You could always build it as a QANTAS jet, I did! (after converting it to an 8f - yes I know Revell do an 8f but I did it to an 8i before Revell released their kit)

I have another Zvezda kit in the stash with the Revell Lufthansa decals to go on it or I could do a BA What If as well.

No other things have gotten in the way. So no more work as yet. Your freighter looks good
