YY B747-4J6 1:400 Air China B-2472
Manufactured by HX
On February 27, 2025, I went out specially to see a 747 for the first time seriously in my life. I arrived an hour and a half early, stood on the wasteland left of Runway 16, basked in the sun and waited slowly… The weather was nice, and I got my wish. Later, I detoured to the other side of the runway and successfully saw its takeoff silhouette against the sunset glow. Finally met with B-2472.
Two months later, flying from Beijing to Shenzhen, I didn’t sleep all night, got up early to go to Capital Airport, reached the boarding gate and saw the goose head—Air “Change” didn’t change the type, so I felt at ease. Checked in B-2447.
B-2472 was delivered to Air China in 2000, with a current age of 25.6 years. It’s not young anymore; I wonder when it and B-2447 will be retired.
Shenzhen can’t accept 747-8s. After these two Air China planes are fully retired, no one knows when the next 747 will visit Shenzhen Airport…
Every time I look at HX’s models, I’m surprised by the details of the pad printing. The small spots that look like paint chipping in the pictures are actually pad printing. The "Star Alliance" logo on the nose is clear to the naked eye, but when taken with a mobile phone, the camera’s algorithm blurs it instead. The mold is also good, and it was taken away for modification recently. Looking forward to improving the issue of overly high landing gear after the modification, and then the overall level will be taken to a higher level. Personally, I think its expressiveness has already taken the throne.
But what’s wrong with this stand? It’s been in the box for half a year, with transportation transfers before, and it seems to have chipped paint. Is this not an isolated case?
