Default The Spirit of Qantas

Qantas has 3 different kinds of B747-400 and DW had released all of them. Which one do you like most? I'm always stick with RR Engines.

I like ALL! But somehow the one with RR engines looks more classic.

DW's nose-gear sux compared to BB/HW, but at least it's movable and removable - good for landing simulations!!! Anyway, BB's 747-400s' upper-deck doors are a little too small.

Aeroclassics Made Thier ONE AND Only 747-400-Double Red Line (Delivery)
But I Hope That Philosophy Will Change.
You Will Have To Hope BB Will Make It.
But I Much Prefer The Dragon-400s. The Wings Are Thin And Slender. And The Winglets Don't Look Like Coffee Stiick Tips.
I Prefer The BB 100 & 200s Because Of The Static Wing Antennas.
But I Never Rule Either Out.

Yawn, people got to get over this whole BigBird is so great...they cost twice as much, and have an inaccurate vertical stabalizer to boot. I don't see the point in paying an extra 20 dollars for a more correct nose gear what a waste of money!

Hello Mr. CX. Nice Pix As Always.
Dragon Actually Released 5 QF In This Color.
Pic One Is VH-OED W/ CF-6-80C2 ( Air Shop Exclusive/QF Corporate Inflight Sales) Grey
Pic Two Is VH-OJH City Of Darwin. RR-RB-211-535C Grey
Pic Three VH-OEH Go Wallabees. CF-6-80C2 White

What You Are Missing Is The Original VH-OJA City Of Canberra. RB-211-535C White
And VH- VH-OJO City Of Towoombawoomba RB-211-535C. Grey

I Have All But The Air Shops Version.

If You Can Find Me An Airshops Version (VH-OED) I Can Locate
A VH-OJO Towoombawoomba. For An Even Steven Trade.

I think the airshops version is worth more than the toowoomba. Ive been on the track for the airshops version for a while now and it is extremely difficult to find.

Nitpick:

They're RB211-524's, not -535's. -535 is the 757's engine. And specifically, the -535C is the now-rare early version, nearly every 757 today with RR's has -535E's.

Double NitPick:
VH-OJH has -524Gs

Point Taken. Always Get Mixed Up On Those Two Numbers.
Nit Picking Is Cool When It Concerns Cokpit Windows And Other Important Details Such As S-Ducts.

I have a model of VH-OJO, a very nice model but they've put too many upper deck windows on the right side of the aircraft. It'd be nice to see DW release a model of VH-OEJ.
