The making of a 747SP from a regular AM747 is quite a challenge considering the large difference between the 2 planes.
After separating the fuselage in two parts as usual you have to saw a small portion of the lower fuselage while on the rear a large protion of both lower and uper fuselage as to be separated.
Then the reassembly is somehow difficult since you have to remodel the entire back in order to give the particular shape of the rear fuselage of the SP. Then do not forget to erase all fairings on the wings and to modefied the tail which is slithly higher on the SP. Altogether I made 6 SP's Air Namibia Air Mauritius KAL (o/c) Corsair (That is the only Sp which has been registered under the french registery) & Mandarin.
