Was wondering if anyone had any insights into the best mould for a 747-8 in 200 scale. Was eyeing either a JC Wings or SQ Wings version and wanted to see if anyone had both and what their thoughts were.
Best 1:200 747-8?

I think they are both very good in terms of mould, but JC Wings has been printing the cockpit wrong sometimes, which is very unpleasant and it really spoils the look of the aircraft for me. SQ has a brand new version with the correct wing-body joint, which was wrong in the early versions, but even then it was not too dramatic in my opinion. SQ has flaps down option which look great, and more details in printing. Overall, at the moment I would personally prefer SQ wings

I don’t personally know the SQ Wings form. I have three 747-8 models from JC Wings. I can (partially) confirm the issue with the cockpit windows: on one model they are printed noticeably too low, which simply looks unattractive and incorrect. On the other two models they also tend to be slightly too low, but much less so, still acceptable. By contrast, the passenger window line along the sides seems to be printed rather a touch too high. Otherwise, I think the JC mold is quite alright.
