Model teaser from HX model, partially physical.

Great to hear @Jim.
Concerning the JT9Ds on your 747-100/200s, I wish you'd do a bit less "overengineering" (gimmicks) but go for scale accuracy instead.
Currently HX model the engine with a seperate insert cast for the inlet/intake lip which inevitably creates a WAY too thick lip. Any chance you cast the intake and fan cowl as a single part and have the fan inserted from from the aft? And make sure you position it farther aft. It sits too far front in both your 200 and 400 scale versions.
I'm not asking for the correct number of 46 fan blades, but a bit more than just the current 16 would be great.
Here's a pic of an early JT9D nacelle. The lady is perfect to showcase how thin the intake lip was on the early nacelle.

we expect to complete the development of the 707 and 727 moulds,
This is particularly great news!!
May I ask which 707 variant you're working on? -120/120B/320/420 would be awesome!

Thank you once again, Phantom, for your valuable correction. I’ve already passed your feedback regarding our 747 engine to our engineers. Once again, we truly appreciate it — your professionalism helps us quickly identify where the problems are.
 
And the in the Northwest colors! This would be an amazing set to have all four! Boeing Prototype, NWA Bowling Shoe, NWA final livery, Delta livery that it now wears at the Delta Museum in Atlanta!
@Jim

See N661US formerly N401PW from inception to retirement in images below where it sits today at the Delta Museum in Atlanta.

This would make an amazing set to go along the Patriot N401PW release.

N661US formerly N401PW was also involved in air disaster Flight 85 from DTW-NRT.
