NG Models Boeing 747-100 - 747-400???

[LeoMuse747]

I find it interesting that NG chose to replicate their 747-400 off the 747SP nose shape.. They would have been better off working with the 747-8 nose if they were going to model one of the two.

Yes, I fully agree!

Yes, I fully agree!

At this point I would be happy if they just slapped the 747-8 nose on the 747-4 and called it day...

So what do we all think now that the official photos have been released???

Minor detail, but I checked the underside of the wings through the photos up on IG (I originally made suggestions to NG and it's in one of Richard's articles also). Looks like they did make some change from the sample mould but they for some reason just copied the details from the 748... Not the end of the world but that means the flaps are incorrect as the 748 has a different flap design.

Can't quite see the top side of the wings with NG's photos. If anyone can post a top view photo later that would be much appreciated. If they copied the 748 config on the top side too, that needs to be fixed immediately.

Yep, those flaps belong to the 748. Time to shoot another email. Thanks for the photo.

Nice catch!

Could you also send them a note on the cockpit windows position?

If they lift it to the right location, then it'll look perfect. I notice this simple move will fix the weird current cockpit window / forehead situation

Another one I’ve picked up on, they have forgot the fuel jettison valve in between the outer aileron and winglet. If you could pass that onto NG it would be much appreciated!

 

[B767Avia]

Haven't sent them the email yet. I'll add the above two details and send it altogether. Thanks!

Has anyone had the opportunity to analyze NG's new 747-400 yet? Pretty eager for a review on this one @YesterAirlines !
