I prefer the Hasegawa 1:200 Boeing 747-200 and 400 model kit building compared to all the die cast metal competitors of the same scale. Although, it is time consuming to build them, but the finished product definitely makes you appreciate every bit of effort put forth. The die cast metal version, IMO, doesn't really give you the appreciation of its existence.
Problem with this 744 is the front windshield printing, that "again", was printed too low, when compared with the original 747. Just because of this " little detail ", i would give this model a 6 out of 10. JC Wings must learn how a Boeing 747 looks in reality. Other than that, it's a "huge L-1011"... On the L-1011, the front windshield is in fact located low. Just me saying... Happy New Year for 2022
The JC one has been sold out for a long long time. But the new WB one is available. Check this out: Hong King’s Collector Wings Model Shop has stock for the new WB CX 744: www.collectorwingsmodel.com/
CX very old livery 😲😲😲.Compare to IF200 B747 with JC/GJ B747,I more prefer JC/GJ B747,seamless belly makes the model look better and have confidence that it won't break apart.
Yes, the cockpit window is amazing. Still remember how excited I was when saw them back in the late 90s/early 00s. Remember Herpa had LH and NZ 744 back then. They were too expensive to me at that time. I could only do window shopping weekly and admired those who could afford them.

The hasegawa moulds are superb! Yes, love its 747s, L10 and 767s a lot!! Not A300 though, hate its belly.

I think you’re right. I didn’t realise that. Generally speaking, such problem is more commonly seen in Gemini’s. What do you think?
hello, this model is for sale?
thank you

Exactly. Herpa’s 1/200 747s are also impressive!!
@@ktshobbies I can assume it,plus,Herpa Wings B747-400 1:200 used to have transparent cockpit windshield and cabin windows,it was an amazing model.
