747400D 1/72

[Mostly Fantasy]

Hi- I'm new to the forum, and am looking for a 1/72 scale model/diecast/anything! 747400D- any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Well, that's ginourmous, and a rare variant. (and NOT identical to most 747-300's). You'll likely need to mix parts from a -200 and a -400 to get a truly correct one, or accept "close enough" and just use a 747-300. This question would be better asked in our dedicated "civil airliners" sub-forum: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index....mp;showforum=19

I shudder to think what a 1/72 diecast 747 would cost, considering that 1/200 ones are $200...

Aircraft in miniature has the 747 in 1/72 scale...might need some scratchbuilding but it can be done......

The AIM kit is a 747-200, so it would require a LOT of work to get to a -400D, not least of which is totally new engine nacelles & pylons.

We are looking at bringing our 747-300 back, but the price is the problem. If a DC-10 comes out at 185 pounds I do not know what a 747 would be. At least we have the moulds for the vacform parts.

actually bought the AIM 747-300 with the -400 upgrades they had at that time (abt 5yrs back)... winglets/wingroot fairing and the resin engines from their VC-25 release that year which are nice. The 747-400D definitely possible without any scratch building once these are back in production.
