I don't think they have ever operated a B747SP.
Unless if you wish to see them releasing a fantasy model of it.

My mistake.
I meant a Air Malawi 747sp or/and
Air Namibia 747sp

Sorry to bring this old thread back, but NG just dropped this:



Looks like we are getting N7470 soon!

Not much a fan of this livery so I'm just guessing: Western.
Edit: I'm 1000% sure there was plenty of discussion around this logo on the forums.

Two things I'm curious about:
Will they nail this mould all the way to very detail?
Will they get the wing/WBF grey correct? Would be a first in any scale.

As they are going into artwork details already...
Do we have a sample to review already? Richard?

 

[1/400collector]

TBH I was sure NG forgot about the 742 mould, guess I was mistaken.
Hopefully we will soon see pictures of the actual mould with printing. But we have yet to get those Air Namibia 747sp and Luxair 747sp

They haven't given me any updates. I have asked them now.

You are correct by the way it is the old Western Air Lines logo:

 

[YesterAirlines]

They've responded. They say an updated sample for the 747-200 may be available late April / early May but I'm sure that is subject to change.

My understanding is that the 'Let Classic be Classic' period won't really start until June at least.

So are we all still lost in translation with the word “Classic” or does NG understand now what “Classic” is? What is their criteria for “Classic”? Anyway you can ask and have them be more specific with the word “Classic”?

Unrelated question but did Western really have the 747 on order for a time? I’m guessing that fell through not long after.

Yes, they ordered three 747-100s in 1969.

Neat! Maybe NG should take a stab at it when the time is right.

747-147's msns 20333,20337 and 20338 were never built.

I beg not to see any fantasy 747 Classics just yet, it'd be a waste of a production slot that would be better served making a classic that actually saw service.

I know, that’s why I said “when the time is right”. I’d like to see a realistic classic first.
