Default Re: NEW RELEASE: 1:400 Magic Minerve B 747-283B

The fuselage is the same as used by Blue Box, the wings, however seem inspired by AC and the engine and attachment have been changed from the recent Magic ski-jump edition.

The landing gear is, unlike Blue Box Pan Am's, fixed and similar to GJ and AC..........

Interesting combination of influences. Nobody else made Minerve, though, so an original airline. And for those starting the flame wars- check out AC's recent boxes. Interesting mispelled words in German and French- Text inspired by Herpa but with cultural improvisation.
