I didn't give them a closer look. But what caught my attention instantly is the missing grey radom lower portion (could be added still?) on the delivery.
And a straight white/polish demarcation line on the Bilboard's nose. The real thing slightly curved to cover the radom all white.
And is this a lacking opacity white overprint along this demarcation line (just below the window line) or a reflection? Somehow I doubt it's the latter.
There haven't been that many releases on the HX Models 747-100/200 so far but I did pickup one of the trio of Air China Cargo 747-200 Freighters (made under the YY Wings brand) and just opened the box today. This is my 4th HX 747-100/200. I'm really liking the mould myself and will definitely be picking up these Pan Ams.
wish HX could fix this already!

To me the windshield, forehead and the roofline of upper deck seems a bit too slide. But I'm not sure. I have the JC Wings, BB Mk.1, Mk.3, DW and GJ 747s, and I squinted my eyes to take them under the light to compared their silhouette with YY many times. Honestly, I'm not sure about my eyes, espercially sometimes you could just randomly get gorgeous nose line from YY mould...
I think all of those 747 moulds have a decent front end
and with it the aft fuselage, v.tail, upperdeck and engine/pylons.
This is you being ultra-picky and a little contrary again Alex. I don't see major issues with any of those areas and they have the series 100 engine pylons available too.
