Dragon China Air 747-400

Hawaiian · 06-20-2005, 06:36 PM

Dragon has rereleased another China Air 747-400 with GE engines. Airshop has them in stock but I figure it will be only a matter of time before they make it to retailers over here.

I hope the reg numbers are different than that which has already been released. If so, I'm in.

Does Brinkley have shots of it yet? Retailers (domestic) have this in?

The first versions registration is B18705 and the new versions number is B18211.
The model was just released the other day so I would say it won't hit the states for a couple of weeks. I usually pick up my CI models from a retailer nearby (Past Time Hobbies) so I'll let you know when they are in or they should available for preorder elsewhere shortly.

FYI, B-18211 has PW engines...

Appreciate it. Now, does DW sell engines separately?..

According to JP airline-fleets 2005 B-18211 has GE engines. B-18201 thru 209 have PW4056; B-18210 and subsequent have GE CF6-80C2B1F.

B-18705 is a freighter (model -409F) and all CI 400Fs have the GE engine.
The other pax CI B747-400 by DW in current livery is DW5540. It has reg'n B-18251 and PW engines. It was previously Mandarin Airlines' B-16801.

Your right! My fault, I have my passenger and freighter side by side and I looked at the wrong one. The registration should be B -18251

Thanks

My bad, I was checking at www.aerotransport.org which is usually accurate.
