Some of you may remember an old blog post of mine titled "A Poor Man's Classic 747 Collection in 1:400 Scale." (You can see here). It boils down to the struggle of chasing rare models.
For many years, I only had one Pan Am 747-100 in the Billboard livery in my 1:400 collection, but recently, thanks to HX and the Waffle collection sale, I finally consider myself satisfied in this area.
Now I have five iterations of 1:400 Pan Am 741s in the Billboard livery distributed as follows: 1999, 2005, 2008, 2015, and 2025. I thought it was a good opportunity to do a recap of the evolution of the 747-100 in 1:400 scale.
The article is long, but I genuinely encourage you to at least scroll all the way down to see a quite comprehensive series of comparison shots side-to-side that I think most 1:400 collectors interested in the 747-100 will find valuable.
