Model comparisons

Somehow realise that I have a pair of CF6 Powered Air New Zealand 744 when cleaning my dorm room.
Witty: ZK-SUH (Front)
Dragon Wings: ZK-NBV (Behind)

Beautiful mould nonetheless - yet Witty's color on the tail are too dark...:confused:
Not going to sold any of them though :whistle: :whistle:

A comparison between the recent AA 763 by Phoenix and a much older one by DW.

After a duo of "Freedom of Space" 777, I now get a duo of "Hibiscus" 747 - a Dragon vs Phoenix

Nobody would argue the superiority of Dragob Wing's mould, but a head-on picture would probably show the worst problem of PH 747 - ground clearance.20240319_115033.JPG

The problem with the DW is that the printing is far worse than PH - PH really nailed the complex patterns and details whereas DW struggled a lot with the fine lines and alignment... The lacquer of PH also lets the livery stood out and shine!

Really torn on these duo - which one would you guys choose should you have the chance?

DW for me, all the way.
Phoenix looks so stubby. The fuselage is bloated. The nose-to-nose pic really shows how fat the PH 747 is.
Dragon also have a much better shaped PW engine, while PH seems to be using the same engine mould for PW and GE engines.
