Great! Are you planning to take the 747-8 out of storage by chance?

The 757 is still going through design tweaks. After sticking my head into the back of the engine of one (it wasn't running) I realized that I need to redesign the engines. BTW, those things are the size of a minivan
Cool you get to get so close to the planes in real life. Glad you're doing these two airliners!

It was a commissioned model. The guy who commissioned it is doing his own thing with the -800 and a Lufthansa version I did for it.

Bring the 747 back to -200 series and you could do the E-4B from Offutt!

Quick question: the 747 is currently 1:150 scale. Using the usual methods (split fuselage and wings) I could get it bigger. I don't really want to though. It's 12 pages as is, and doubling the size would also double the page count. Plus, I don't really like how the seam at the front of the wings turns out. Plus I got carried away and already did 9 versions. Would people buy it at 1:150, or should I make it larger?

I would like it slightly bigger to match 1:144, though that is only my preference and not anyone else's.

Maybe if we knew the 9 versions, that would help us out to determine if we would like it bigger or not.

In my opinion the airliner scale is 1/50. Schreiber has a beautiful 747 Lufthansa livery but unfortunately, no landing gear. Paper Trade also has a very nice 747 with KLM livery.

Turning back to scales, it is just a couple of clicks changing the scale of any card model using PhotoShop, CorelDraw or any similar software.

Have you remembered to design a beautiful Cessna 180, or 170 or both in float and wheels version? Don't forget.

Rick
