The CX 400F and Atlas have already available on taobao for months. The SQ 744 and CX 743 are new, although I was expecting a lettuce CX 747 from YY
Model teaser from HX model, partially physical.
- Thread starter panda_CAT
- Start date
I don’t think that Cathay -400F is available yet? YY wings released one but that was Cathay Cargo titles B-LID

No, the previous one was 747-400ERF CATHAY CARGO and this time it is 747-400ERF CATHAY PACIFIC CARGO, but it is also customized to YY Wings.

Should make a thread tracking taobao "releases", it's hard enough even if you're on the platform itself
MADb is kept up to date with releases - pretty much as they are discovered

Yep. Searching the type, airline or reg turns up a lot of random results, and looking within a specific retailer’s tough because there doesn’t seem to be a “sort by new” option. Pls correct me if I’m wrong…

On the mobile version you click into the seller's profile and choose this to see their latest items.
Also it is easier to search with just the scale + registration or scale + product code. Searching with airline names mostly turns up with random results

Do we have any idea when the Cathay 747-300 will be released? That is a must have for me!

Excited to see pictures. It looks like this is a late 747-300 that did not have the wingtip fences and had the updated 747 wing root.

Indeed... You can't simply slap on a 747-400 wing, sand off the winglet and wingtip extension, and call it a late model 747-300 with the new wing-to-body fairing (WBF). The 747-300 is actually much closer to the 747-200 series, having an identical wing (except some late build 747-200s and 747-300s when they started adding the new WBF, such as examples flown by Sabena, Air India, Cathay, etc.). I believe these changes and/or aerodynamic improvements to the 747 Classics started being gradually rolled out on the Everett assembly line as the 747-400s starting coming onto the assembly lines.Wrong wing.

Does this mean there are two versions of the 743 wing? One uses the -200 wing, and the other uses the same wing as the -200, but with a leading edge similar to the -400 wing (WBF)?
(Sorry, although I know the 743 is somewhat special, I still don't quite understand it. Do anyone have a deeper understanding/photo reference?)

Okay technical question. This is a 747-300 that has the late wing to fuselage join used on a 747-400. But this looks to be the same wing and length that was used for the ANA 747-400D Pikachu Jet.Ladies and gentlemen, Cathay Pacific 747-300 (VR-HIN,50th Anniversary Livery) now he's comes.

My question is: is the wingspan the same length on a 747-300 as a 747-400D? Or is the later version of the 747-300 wingspan longer than the original that had the wing fences?
