Great, I’ll be picking up the House

Bringing back an old topic, this topic is ideas or wishes for future HX models and I believe N471MC would be a amazing candidate as on the surface it looks like a standard blank freighter but a close looking amazing details that can be picked out and be represents nicely in 1/400 such as off color white panels, dirty or defined window plugs and other sorts, and besides that just having a atlas bcf or another atlas freighter would be amazing for fleet builder or military collectors or people that just want something normal for an airport

Since this is actually an albino/incomplete livery, I don't think HX would release it. Most manufacturers don't really release these oddballs (I know there are exceptions though). My guess is that would be easier to get a blank 747 and custom it to this livery.
