Those B747s are the hotness. I got one of the Pan Ams and it's an automatic shoe-in for the top 10 best 1:400s ever!

Cool

Take a look on the back of the Euro Classisc box of Iberia 747 it has several Europen airlines logo such as Alitalia, Olympic, Lufthansa, KLM, Sabena, SAS, Swissair, Aer Lingus are these indication that those livery will be out soon?
Just wait for the show time.

Default Pan Am question

Hi,
Who makes your TWA and Pan am B747-100 models? Is your PA Gemini Jets N747PA ("Clipper Juan T. Trippe)? I have the Dragon Wings version N736PA ("Clipper Victor") and I donīt like the airline logo on the tail which I think that it is way too big and also itīs belly is painted chrome and I prefer polished.
Thanks, Marco.

Hi Marco,

The TWA and Pan Am are both by BigBird400. The Pan Am is indeed N747PA, but it is named 'Jet Clipper America.' If I am not mistaken, the plane was later renamed 'Clipper Juan T. Trippe.' Thanks to anyone out there who can verify this. Hope this helps Marco.

N747PA was delivered a Jet Clipper America.......after a short stint of being leased to Air Zaire, it returned to Pan Am and was remamed Clipper Sea Lark......after Juan Trippe died in the early 80's, it was renamed in his honor Clipper Juan T. Trippe............it was the last Pan Am 747 to fly a revenue flight........

i love Pan Am


great photos! they are all true classics
