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.

I love to see the Flexport B747F and been waiting for JCW to make it. But if HX can do a flaps down livery it would be awesome.
I think I saw a live stream of Chicago last week and it looked like the Flexport livery is no more.!!

Fair, I only really recommended it as a work horse and would be cool to see how they solve tackled diffrent colored panels and dirty area and stuff

I received my Swissair Boeing 747-357 HB-IGF today. Except for the colour of the elevators, which are indeed silverish, this is an outstanding model and I think one of the best classic 747s I've ever seen in 1/400. The Aviation 400 and JC Wings versions of the Swissair 747-300 pale in comparison.

Absolutely beautiful! The only drawback is the steep price tag of more than 100 EUR for the model, shipping costs and import taxes.
