Today I would like to share with you all the 2015 BigBird Cathay Pacific Boeing 747-367 B-HOL with white RB211 and Hong Kong registration (I myself prefer the silver engine version more but the hefty $$$ tag kept me away from it. I recently acquired this model, without its original box and the card which came along with it. The model was noted to have yellowed white upper fuselage (which I see present on 2015 BB CX 743 model photos on DiMA database, but mine is significantly worse). However, I would say this is one of the finest models ever made and surely be my purchase of 2022. This model starts my love for 1:400 B747-300, a classic 747 with stretched upper deck and HF antenna. Cathay Pacific operated 6 B743, with 3 different outer appearance (which would be discussed in part 3). This example, VR-HOL (later B-HOL) was received in 1987 and had a capacity of 422 seats. I would really hope the CX B743 be released once again! It is truly an iconic aircraft.

Now let's get to the model, the view from port side.

The aircraft features the original 747 classic wing-to-body fairing, which is represented excellently on this model.
