Which brand do you think that has the ugliest passenger 747-400 mould?

[TrijetBlast]

I won't ask the -8 because I already know which one , but on the -400 there are many from super old mould (still releasing) to the one from the new players in the market. Which one do you think is the worst? We should look at these areas:

The wing joint design
Shape of the "forehead" - the front portion of the upper deck
Shape, height of the vertical stabilizer
Shape of the nose

or other areas if you can come up with

Phoenix still has that questionable nose on their -400 moulds. The Big Bird mould is still great but the seamed wing-joint is becoming increasingly dated to look at.

It’s 2026, all of them apart from HX.

I think i'll have to agree... these one-offs B744s released by AC were bad but this NW was a trainwreck!

Phoenix by a major distance.

Definitely Phoenix ! It's far worse than any other 747-400 mould on the market. I would still buy a seamed mould over that one.

It's 100% Phoenix!

I could probably make a better mold in my basement with a $100 budget then Phoenix based off of what I’ve seen in pictures
