Photo Request: RS/SM KLM 747s

B773ER · 08-20-2008, 06:56 PM

The HE Premium KLM 747 thread got me thinking about adding a few KLM 747s to my collection. Does anyone have photos of the following two?

Rise Soon B744 (KLM20B744P02)
SkyMarks B742 (KLM20B742P01)

I hope these are still available.

Thanks!

SkyMarks is going to release new KLM B747 in the near future. Check this at aviationmegastore.

B773ER · 08-20-2008, 09:58 PM

WOW! That looks great! And will go very nicely with my City of Lima. Then all I'd have to get is the original colours SkyMarks 742. I see this is due out in December. I wonder what the reg. no. is gonna be? I can't make out the name on the aircraft.

That KL 744 was well the wait!! Randy you have a HE KL 744. I thought you sold it?

I found and bought another one today.

mjabbasi · 08-20-2008, 11:47 PM

You mean you found another non-premium vesion in the old livery on e-bay??

How come I never find them??

B773ER · 08-20-2008, 11:56 PM

Yes, that's what I mean. I'm uncertain why no one bought it before I did. It was about $67 including shipping.

1:200Freak · 08-20-2008, 11:58 PM

And it was a Herpa with the City of Lima titles...nice catch!

B773ER · 08-21-2008, 12:07 AM

Yes, but I'd still like to own a City of Atlanta HE Premium someday.

Okay, after doing a quick search, KLM is NOT one of the airlines that will be released on the MD-11 frame. They are:

AA MD-11
World Cargo MD-11
Korean Air Cargo MD-11
Eva Air Cargo MD-11
Swissair MD-11 (2 types)

1:200Freak · 08-21-2008, 12:12 AM

Okay i'm starting to tell my age

B773ER · 08-21-2008, 12:16 AM

No, you're not. I thought KLM was one of the airlines, too. Makes sense that it would be. I guess I was confusing KLM with Korean, given both start with a K.

And both are blue

B773ER · 08-21-2008, 12:19 AM

Yes, that, too.

I guess I'll go ahead and buy the SkyMarks KLM 742.

I am also happy to report I have FINALLY found a display cabinet for these models. It's 80-1/2" tall, 49" wide, and 17" deep! Oak and glass, with two sliding glass doors.

Okay you know what the next request will be....pictures of it...two sliding doors as well...that's great.

B773ER · 08-21-2008, 12:22 AM

Yes, I'm excited. A craigslist find. $200. Not bad at all!! I may stain it chocolate/espresso to match the rest of my furniture.

ci032744 · 08-21-2008, 12:38 AM

so hogan will release EVA MD-11F RIGHT WHEN IS THE DATE FOR RELEASE? THANKS I CAN'T WAIT ... ^^

maverick231 · 08-21-2008, 12:58 AM

count me in for the World Cargo, Korean Cargo and EVA Cargo!

mjabbasi · 08-21-2008, 08:15 AM

You got it for only $67?? Ok, let me jump off the roof. If I fail to succeed, you'll find me back here.

FAEDC3 · 08-21-2008, 02:21 PM

There you go Randy.... sorry for the quality but I only had my phone to take them last night.
Last pic, has upgraded engines, those are currently all white, I'm trying to figure out how to get KLM decals. I installed the rotating engines on the left side only so you can compare them.

1:200Freak · 08-21-2008, 02:24 PM

FAEDC3 don't you also have Randy's "City of Lima"? Photos of both together would be great!

B773ER · 08-21-2008, 02:32 PM

Wow, thanks very much!! Very nice! I guess this must be an older release, given it does not have spinning fan blades. I wonder how the SkyMarks release will differ from this one? I note on the SM website that it does not list whether the new release has spinning fan blades, nor does it provide a registration number.

FAEDC3 · 08-21-2008, 02:41 PM

@ Freak: Yes, I have Randy's "old" City of Lima, I'll arrange a get together of the brothers, then maybe we can invite City of Atlanta over for a threesome...

I just have to get a better quality camera, that one is awful

@ Randy: Actually it is an older version, I got it about 5 months ago from Airkuro. I guess that once the new version comes out, some arrangement can be made to upograde the engines with a set of KLM rotating ones....

B773ER · 08-21-2008, 02:43 PM

I'm envious you have the City of Atlanta!
