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!

Cheers, LeeTree

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..

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