Default Flying Tigers B747-200F

This is my most recent project, custom made this Flying Tigers 747 using an IF mould and decals. Always love their colour scheme and the heavy metal look. One of my new favourite among my other 747s.










and with the other family members

Wow, what a fantastic job! The Flying Tigers 747 has long been on my "wish list", and I was hoping that IF would one day release it. Would you be open to the idea of building another one of these?

Thank you, this was one of the hardest custom so far, it took me a long time to look for the right donor model, decal and it's not easy to work with polish model. I hope someone will bring this out too, but seems Freighters are not very popular...

Indeed, I remember seeing them flying over and the noise that followed!!

Fine & dandy! nice work!. I have been lusting after this model for quite sometime myself. I have the IF TAP 747-200 Brasil that I would be more than happy to retro-fit if I had the time. Great job!

Congrats!! Lovely model!! Yesterday I was thinking about doing a 767-300 of Florida West, very similiar to FT. I always liked their livery in that chromed fuselage!
