AC may have a better nose indeed but AV400 have laterally inserted wings and still look great too!

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)
Nose: (Witty on left, Dragon on right)
Title-Dragon
Title-Witty
Tail:
Beautiful mould nonetheless - yet Witty's color on the tail are too dark...
Not going to sold any of them though

That DW 747 is a beauty. Witty version looks good too but, to me, the nose gear seems to be too far aft.

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

Versus Series Vol. 8: American Airlines 767-300 Phoenix vs. Dragon Wings
Here we have two 767-323ERs produced by two well-known brands that don't cease to amaze. One of them because their recent release sets have been consistently full of newer versions of highly popular subjects, and the other one because of how well their twenty-something-year-old models stand up...

DW version is really solid, but that Phoenix version is simply wonderful!

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.
Some side by side shots:
(Left PH, Right DW)
(Left DW, Right PH)
Some more shots:
Starboard side:
Port side:
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.
