Very nice! Especially with getting the tail markings around the curves.

Nice work did you paint the fuselage flat white. Then gloss clear or just gloss white?

Nick.

Thanks guys, I always use flat white and then either add a gloss coat or go over it with a gloss white. The flat what is usually the Tamiya white primer rattle can as it has good coverage for larger builds..

Awwwww......sweet. I worked for Qantas in Melbourne for almost 9 years....we were devastated when they cut the wings off the roo.....BUT.....now I work for Boeing in Everett (777 Tooling), where they MAKE the 747's....heh heh heh....awesome. Biggest kick in the rear you'll ever see - THREE 747's in the 40-21 sitting almost nose to tail. The wings are too wide now to have them pointing straight north-south, so they sit at about a 45 degree angle. Astounding.
Your Freighter is beautiful, mate. I love it. Just lovely.
Thanks for the pics, mate!
