Hello every one i was looking at scalemodelstore.com when i saw this:
three new BigBird400 747

ANA 747SR JA8152
this is a bit of a boring livery in my opinion but still an interesting model

Iran Air 747 EP-IAM 747-100
this one is very much disappointing i hope it would be in the 70s livery and not in the boring 90s livey that was made by AC just 2 years ago

and the best one of the batch:
Air New Zealand 747-200 ZK-NZY
i hoped for the Air New Zealand 70s livery 747, but still not a bad livery might be getting this one

I hoped to see more classics livery's than this batch.
I hope that JC will make more in the near future before NG 741/742 are released.
 
Here is the new new list of what they should have made instead.
(i had to delete it )
1.Olympic Airways 747 SX-OAD SX-OAE any livery that they had

Absolutely fantastic releases! So good to see more non-Phoenix 747 Classics being released in 2023!!!
While we keep waiting for NG, these are surely very welcome releases.

I like how the basic 3 engine options for the 747 Classics are represented here:

GE CF6-50 for the ANA
PW JT9D for the Iran Air
RR RB211 for the Air New Zealand

Between this and the activity from Phoenix surely has to be an indication that something is cooking in the classic 747 department. If an NG version is soon on the horizon then I wouldn’t be surprised if we also saw another run from Aeroclassics using BB blanks, to get a few more key classics in. Interesting times.

God i wish you're correct.
I just hope that if AC will do this they will do the Air Zaire 747
 
Hey All. I obviously haven't posted here for a while but seeing as the ownership has changed I thought I might test the waters. I have spoken briefly with the new owner so it will be interesting to see what he has in store for the site.

Anyway. This trio of new BB Mk3 747s are interesting and BB Mk3 has been rather enigmatic so people tend to forget they exist. I don't think these are a reaction to NG in anyway as they fit the usual release pattern from BB. In this vid I discuss them and the history of this brand with a look at their previous output:
