This model is looking good. Your work is outstanding.

It looks great, but I feel like the hump and the engines are a bit off...

Actually, the 96% shrinking is in regards to the AXM shuttle. It's 1:144, and needs to be shrunk down to fit on the 747

Please take a look at the conversion table for Boeing 747 on your web store.
If you want to build it at 1/144 from your original scale of 1/150, then print at 104%.

That I understand. The AXM shuttle that I'm recommending to go on the Shuttle Carrier is scaled 1:144. If my math is correct, to shrink the Shuttle down to the same scale of the SCA, you have to print it at 96%

Dear me, we've been crossing paths. I was talking about the SCA but you the shuttle!
Okay, let's see how it goes. The SCA is near finish, pending u/c only.

Here's a photo. The rear payload mount has been put right, it should be upright.
Hope it's not "a bit off....." this time.

Beautiful build and not trying to be a rivet counter but the engines seem a little off from the real model?

I agree about the engines and the hump on this model looks like a 747-400.
I think the first shuttle carrier was a 747-100 short hump.

All this talk about the 747 Carrier and the Shuttle models makes me wonder how did the real things at LBJ NASA Center in Houston do with Hurricane Harvey? Anyone know?
