New JC wings 747 mould?

[KL808]

On Instagram JC wings showed a post of a 747 front in the United Saul Bass livery. The caption says:
“Not 747SP 1:400… Coming soon”

Wow, I hope this is an entirely new mould. Any thoughts?

Just went over to IG after seeing your post. JC winning the race to release new 747 classics moulds whilst NG takes their time? 😒. Or is it just Saul Bass releases on their existing moulds? Anyways, anything United Saul Bass and I'm in. One of the best liveries ever ever.

Finally some good new 747s in 1:400? Hmm...

I think I remember Richard mentioning somewhere that they had a Saul Bass or Battleship Grey 747-400 in the works, so I expect that is what it is… If not though, I will take a 747-200 any day! As long as we get one in the classic Qantas cheat line scheme, I will be happy!

For anyone wondering, here is the post:



Unfortunately, there is just not enough information to make a conclusion from this image, so I guess we will have to wait and see!

You know that makes sense that this might be a 744. JC has the 744 and if you look at the database only 3 of these schemes have ever been produced. 2 by Gemini and 1 with dragon.

I would confidently say this is a B744 according to the nose shape and JC's mould availability. If it is the classic 747 that they are making, the nose ought to be much sharper (like those of Dragonair B742 they just released)

Yepp waiting for the QFs in cheatline too!

Feels like we're so collectively starved for new 747 moulds that we're grasping at straws for anything to get hyped about 🥲.

I'd bet my money on a B747-200 or B747-400 using their current mould... nothing new!

that can be a bew 747-100/200
And that would mean that the NG 747 model is coming

 

[1/400collector]

JC please make an EL AL 747 Aer Lingus 747 Viasa 747 Olympic Airways 747

NG hinted towards a 747-8 recently with the final 747 delivery. Maybe JC doesn't use the Bigbird mould so often because they are working on their own mould.

 

[pons399]

Holy shit that can be a bew 747-100/200
And that would mean that the NG 747 model is coming

This doesn't have anything to do with the NG... As far as I can tell, that's still a long way off.

 

[LeoMuse747]

Why are you guys mentioning a new JC Wings mould, or even evoking NG here?!
I see no hints of new mould in sight.
JC have a B747-100/200 ready to use, still based on the old mould which was used back in the early 2000s by Gemini.

Remember this Dragonair Cargo release?

I guess they'll just use it for a United Saul Bass release... or maybe even a B747-400 instead.

Richard confirms this is a 747-400

JC remodelled a 747-400 a couple of years ago, so is this yet another one ?

 

[pons399]

It's indeed just a 744, no new mould.
