Lh 747-800

pewter · 08-27-2008, 09:44 AM

Just arrived, I found it on ebay - labelt as 1:500

pewter · 08-27-2008, 09:48 AM

compared to LH 747-400

pewter · 08-27-2008, 09:51 AM

compared to AF 747-400

BuddyK · 08-27-2008, 10:03 AM

Great looking plane !!

But ... Is it my imagination ... or does that -800 have those "lovely" Boeing in-flight (on the ground) wings like the 787s have ?

You did kinda freak me out a bit with the 2 fuselages side-by-side, with innner wings off, in the last group of pictures ... my first thought was ... "Wow ... is this Boeings answer to the A380 ? ... they're going to slap 2 747 fusleages together" ?? .. hard to believe that puppy would get airborne .... 8-)

Haha....Smart idea for compared 2 models.

pewter · 08-27-2008, 02:19 PM

just possible with hogan - thats why I used the AF.

win_arc · 08-27-2008, 02:34 PM

Yes i know, but i means ur idea about take off one wing and put them together, really good idea for compared 2 HG models...

. Btw, i loved both models.

DLmd11 · 08-27-2008, 02:41 PM

Great comparisons!

I will wait on this -8i until the wing issue is resolved. I remember when the 787 was modeled, all the wings were in an in-flight configuration with the bow in the wing only to realize that there is little to no bow in the wing when on the ground.

It is a nice model though.

Crew_Rest · 08-31-2008, 06:18 AM

Nice to see this model not in Boeing colors.

But unfortunately it´s not the retooled version with correct fuselage length and the right engines with the redesigned nacelles. I hope Hogan will also release this version in DLH-colors.

pewter · 08-31-2008, 07:26 AM

what do you mean with correct fuselage lenght?

Thomas32125 · 08-31-2008, 08:25 AM

Wow! This LH 747-800 model is outstanding!!! It's souch a great thing that LH and Boeing pushed the 747-program into the next level! Can't wait to see them flying out of Frankfurt!!!

Hello Pewter,

First Boeing designed the B747-8I a little bit shorter than the B747-8F. This was also the wish of Emirates. But than Boeing decided to stretch the fuselage to the length of the -8F.
Hogan released the short version some months ago with incorrect engine pylons/nacelles like the B747-400.
The retooled version now has the correct fuselage length (count the windows on the upper deck (old 15, new 20)). The pylons are bigger and more like the B777 and B787 ones.

I bought both versions. Each of them has its attraction.
See also the pictures attached of the new version.

ok, thanks.
so there will be a different LH 747-800 someday.
thats cool

mjabbasi · 08-31-2008, 10:46 AM

I'm sure these will sooner or later become available at the LH Worldshop.

Which doesn't ship worldwide, which I find ironic, given its name.

mjabbasi · 08-31-2008, 02:56 PM

Thats true, they might as well call themselves Euroshop.

1:200Freak · 08-31-2008, 03:07 PM

Better still they might as well call it Germanyshop....not sure if these exist outside Germany

mjabbasi · 08-31-2008, 03:34 PM

They don't. They're in the heart of Germany i.e. FRA airport!

Yogurtlite · 08-31-2008, 04:03 PM

The scale doesn't look like 1:500, anyway LH is one of my favourite airlines. Nice photos.

pewter · 08-31-2008, 06:29 PM

that was the good thing
this was labeled as 1:500 so most probably not all 1:200 found it on ebay
