Hi, all
I'm after the wings, engines and tailplanes for a Boing 747, any version or manufacturer.
I'm in New Zealand, so local would be easier, but I will work with what I can get.
I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount plus postage.
Please PM me if you can help.
Cheers & thanks in advance.
Rick
I've definitely got those parts Rick, quite a few of them in fact, but it'd be difficult for me to be any further away. :(
I won't be able to get at them for about a month eitjher, so maybe you can use me as a last resort.
Does it need to be 1/144 scale? I've got that stuff from an Academy 747 + space shuttle kit in the spares box, but I think it's 1/288 or something like that.
Kit - it's going to be a Christmas Present, so I'm not in too much hurry as yet (but I have said 'There's Plenty Of Time' before...)
I'm just trying to get things sorted while I have more time at this end of the year. ;)
Strobez - thanks but I am hoping to use one of the 1/144 fuselages I randomly acquired, and the decals for the NASA SOFIA don't come in that scale, otherwise I'd have gone with that option. :thumbsup:
They are available in 1/200, but the kits in that scale are few and expensive and not readily obtainable here currently.
I will keep a 'watching brief' and see how things work out.
OK Rick, I'll be able to dig the 747 bits out in about a month.

Thanks, Kit - though you may want to hold off a moment, as I've had stray thoughts of asking the manufacturer if they will resize them to the Academy kit.
It's a lot smaller footprint, which would be an advantage.
I will do some investigating and get back to you.
Cheers & sorry to mess you around. :thumbsup:
It's not a problem Rick, I've got the bits and if you need them they're yours.
If not they'll sit in The Loft for another 20 yrs. ;D

Thanks, I appreciate it. :thumbsup:
So it appears I can get an Academy kit pretty readily and cheaply, and the Transfer manufacturer will resize the product to fit, so I will be going that way.
It means a smaller model to find space for, so that's an added bonus.
Thanks for the offer anyway, Kit - much appreciated.
(One day I will learn to explore all the options before asking for favours... :rolleyes: )
That's all good news Rick. I hope it goes well. ;D
Thanks, Kit. :thumbsup:
I hope to have it ready by Christmas but I have procrastinated before, to the extent of *just* finishing one on Christmas morning, before heading over to their place for lunch... :rolleyes:
