That, sir, is a thing of beauty.

Hope you don't know any Virgin Air 747-400 drivers, they'd steal it from you.

she looks great - I love the flaps and spped brakes configuration too. I remember when hasegawa first launched their 1/200 loveliner range and built them all myself years ago - I still have a few new unstarted in my stash and have BA decals for them. Its a shame they never made a 500 series Tristar though

Wow!  I work for Boeing in Everett...I see these things everyday - 1:1 scale....and this model is awesome!  Love it!

Dude....thanks for sharing these pics!

Did you take any pics of the construction process of the Fowler Flaps and the leading edge slats?  I'd LOVE to seen them.

Thanks again, mate.

Cheers, LeeTree

That huge, swooping red decal/logo that goes from the side of the fuselage and up to cover the whole vertical stabilizer must have been a bear to position and lay right without tearing it.  Or is it composed of several smaller sections?

Gorgeous!

Wow! Truly impressive build. Even at 1/200 scale, I'll bet that is a huge model. How long is the fuselage? And the wingspan?
