On both or the billboard?

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.
The HX Models Pan Am 747s just arrived at the hangar courtesy of HX themselves (another brand who wants to work with Yesterday's Airlines). Seems only those brands worried about the low quality of their models are afraid of working with me 
as that's Aviation400, El Aviador, HX Models, JC Wings, NG Models, Panda Models, Phoenix Models, Retro Models & Yu ModeL who've all sent me models for review at one time or another. It's hard work to be biased for everyone 
. I should mention also I never expected them to send all 5!
Anyway I'm thinking what content I'll try and produce for these. I'm thinking maybe:
Depends how much time I can find to work on this. Anything else people want to see?

Yes and no. It's like a job, now I have to do the work related to them. Given my daily rate in real world employment getting a free model doesn't cover the time it will take me to produce the content for them, but this is a hobby for me and I enjoy it. When I review free models I'm doing whomever sent me them more of a favour than they're doing me, assuming they get decent reviews that is, but I dont tend to bother reviewing rubbish products.
Free models... while some of us suffer £50 for narrowbodies
Last month I acquired 31 models and none of them were free, although only 6 were new releases. If you're paying £50 for a narrowbody you're shopping at the wrong sites!

I probably over-exaggerated that

Detailed model review please
This hobby would not be where it is today without your work.
I'd love to see some video reviews over the 5 747s
