HX Models 1:400 Scale 747-100 New Mold Product Launch

Hello everyone, this time we bring you two very special models! HX Models is releasing two classic Boeing 747-100 models at a 1:400 scale: the First Flight Livery and the Museum Livery (exclusively customized by YY-Wings).

N7470 First Flight Livery:
As the first Boeing 747 in the series, N7470 made its historic maiden flight in 1969. To capture that iconic moment, we've meticulously recreated its livery, allowing everyone to appreciate the charm of this legendary aircraft.

N7470 Museum Livery:
Today, N7470 is quietly displayed in a museum as an important witness to civil aviation history. This model faithfully reproduces its appearance in the museum, making it a must-have for collectors.

These two models not only showcase the classic beauty of the Boeing 747-100 but also pay tribute to aviation history. For those interested, be sure to check them out!

more info from comment section:
it will be available online in a about one week's time, price similar to the current 747-8 offered by YY Wings, no limit quantity (unlike 150 only for PATRIOT MODEL). also, 747-400 will be out soon as well (B-2445).

personal comment:
1. it does look like the same (base) model as the PATRIOT MODEL 747-100 in a lot of areas so I do believe they are essentially the same mould. also, from PT's recent DC tanker release they seem to have such plan of making new model by adding additional features based on existing mould.
2. the museum version has few painting differences and wing tips compare to the prototype version, only subtle. so it's more of a "find the difference" game. but anyway it's good to have variety.
3. all of a sudden the N7470 is flooding the market. but what comes after maybe more exciting. (i dont have any info other than just thinking about the possible liveries based on 747-100).

Any news on where to get these models? I heard Squatchy’s was trying to get them, but perhaps someone in Europe?

We have been in talks but the price point is a bit crazy. Their suggested MSRP is over $100 per model, and these are 400 scale models. We told them that at that price point it will be a difficult, if impossible to sell. Folks are already scoffing at current model prices, and with that pricing we aren’t sure we even want to try.
