Nice announcement! Shoot, I'm losing track of which ones I have pre ordered.:o

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Wooo hooo, great release! But already have a plastic version...maybe I will get this one!
Great news!

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Cue JC'S ANNOUNCEMENT in 5, 4, 3.................................

cue eagles announcement in 10, 9. 8................................

Point is, if you have ordered the JC wunala, do you wait and pray JC does this at some stage???????????:D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Everyone keeps saying "JC please release this" or "oh now JC will definitely release this," but remember, JC only has a 747-400 mold, so they CANNOT make Nalanji at this time!

If you want this plane in diecast, this is probably your best bet. Now that Inflight has been outdone by JC's mold with the 747-400, expect more IF 747 classics, where they still have no competition.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

wow indeed! This is a must have too !
Its been a very colourful year alright!
Lets have more -300s Inflight200!!!!!!!:cool:

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

At this rate, All the special livery aircraft will have been released by the end of the year!

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

I'm happy with my IF200 743's, SAA Ndizani and Air India and now this BEAST to add to the collection...epic announcement! Sure there will be a fair few excited Aussies when they get a hold of this news.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Do you have any real numbers to prove this, or are you based on some threads from Dac!?
Both models have flaws, its been talked and talked over and over, but now people have a choice.
And thats what should matter.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Yes there is plenty of data here on to back this up. Take a look at the Tropical decisions thread. The initial purchase count was 23 JC models to 2 IF models and the final count was 59 JC models to 5 IF models. That should pretty much be all you need to understand the relative success of the molds and the difficulty that IF would have competing with JC 744.

The majority of my 747s are IF and yes, I am always glad that there is a choice. The most important thing is that these manufacturers keep up their quality instead of shoving out releases as fast as possible.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Well this is a surprise.....

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Fantastic! One too get. Hope they make the engines as shine as it was.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Awesome release. Time for me to make choices......:D

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

JC made the 747-400, I am sure 747 Classic will be done very soon. I can see some other manufacturers either upscale the 1/400 or by copying existing model kits because they don't have enough knowledge on real planes. While JC have their engineering team with lots of experience on aircraft maintenance, no need to be rush unless all good to go.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Yeah I agree, thats why I edited the post to say "at this time"

We were presented with the first pictures of JC 747-400 mold back in September of last year and they have only made one model in these past 9 months. I am just trying to clear up the misconception that JC has the power to make any 747 model right now. Perhaps in the future things will be different, but for now, I am going to order this one.

If you really want this livery, there is no guarantee JC will make the 300 mold so just keep that in mind.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

I know I am in the minority but personally I hate this livery. I prefer the classic simple schemes, this is just too busy and looks like a kids design competition winner.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

I agree. That's why I like IF200's "Big Red" Qantas so much, it reminds me of Braniff's "Big Orange". I heartily dislike Nalanji, and Singapores "Tropical" too. All the various colours and shapes detract from the pleasing shape of the 747's lines. This one is not a model I'm remotely interested in.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Nalanji and Wunala?? Awesome! So happy I can add this to my collection!

Now IF, how about a normal livery Qantas 747-300?? And SAA too?!!

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Looking forward to it. Can't wait to put the two together on display :D

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

I feel the opposite. It's a creative livery. It shows that thought went into it. It's very different from a livery that looks like it took less than a minute to design. It's also the style of Aboriginal art, which is thousands of years old...not kids art

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

true. i passed tropicals

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Is this true? Can you confirm for us.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Wow..it would be our Aussie Dream comes true to have all those Dreaming aircrafts. I will definitely get this Nalanji

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

yups... i think so too. pretty much completes my collection with the tropical, hibiscus, disneysea, wunala, nalanji... and the released heliconia.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Sure, any technical question you want to ask them? A&C type, you can try something cannot be googled.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

+1 on those polished engines Erik...certainly look like that'll be the case on the drawing too. :)

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Exciting news!
Very big 2 months for releases! Sending me broke.
Definitely be adding this one to the collection

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

F A N T A S T I C ! ! !

Modestos

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Me too Willy definately getting this. Good bye to the only Qantas 747-300 ever made in 1:200 Skymarks Nalanji.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

C'mon....where's the Ansett Australia B747-300 VH-INJ and B747-400 VH-ANA Sydney 2000 Olympics colors. :envy:

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

+ 3 here on the power plants Rolls Royce RB211-524's that powered this aircraft.

Inflight already have theses engines and have used them on all Qantas & Qantas's Australia Asia 747SP's. I suspect there will be engine pod mount changes as the wings are different from the 747-300 to the 747SP. Inflight did do nice engines on the first releases of the SP with painted center cowlings & on the Qantas Australia Asia models. On the last livery of Qantas 747SP Inflight did not paint the center cowlings for some reason. I will let you guys see for your self's as I have all the inflight releases both rego's of EAA & EAB.
Picture 1 is of Inflight's first release of Qantas 747SP RR RB211
Picture 2 is of Inflight's Qantas Australia Asia 747SP RR RB211
Picture 3 is of Inflight's Qantas last livery with no detailed painted center cowling's what so ever
Picture 4 is of BBOX CX release using Inflight's mould for CX 747-300 with some kind of RR RB211 engine I have never seen before on a real aircraft
Picture 5 is of the Skymarks/ Risesoon Nalanji engines.

Let's hope its close to the real thing like Erik's picture. Fingers crossed
Also wouldn't mind a standard livery too like others above have posted above
Cheers Steve

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Hm, I definitely prefer Wunala, especially as it is somewhat less "busy", but Nalanji is pretty too. Mind you, the colors on the drawing look rather dull, the real thing looked much shinier.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Fantastic news, with the latest ANZ 744, this & Wunula my 747 bucket list is near completion :cool:

A 743 in standard QF livery would indeed be welcome.... but just quietly my wallet can wait a year!! :o

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Im sure JC will do it also. Im waiting for that one.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Amazing livery!

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Again, at this moment, JC does not have a 747-300 mold, so you are taking a risk by waiting. There is obviously a possibility that they will make this mold in the future, but if you skip this release you are risking ever having this livery in diecast!

If you want to bet that JC will make the 300 mold and this specific livery in the future that's your prerogative, but be careful about misleading people into thinking that JC will definitely make this model in the future.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

I know it's no far away when they sent me this

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Oh wow, I never saw this. I guess the classics will come over the next few years then.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

The first -300 may be Nalanji too. May be...

http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4o8muiyr.jpg

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Yeah this changes things a little bit.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Looking at the second level for pax, I'm confuse if the photo showing a 742 or 743??????? Even though the engine profile resemble nalanji......742 or 743??????????

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Looking more like a -200 to me. But who knows for sure....

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

So I'm not confused...I think.....but it's nice to see another new mould from JC, this time round with better above cockpit area profile......

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Well the hump is definitely the shorter one that would be on the 100 or 200, but the wing are the biggest thing with the 300. All they really have to do is put these wings on the 400 fuselage.


It's definitely a 200

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Was thinking the same....better brow section than their 744's of late.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

They told me made the changes and same nose secction will be used on GJ Qantas OJA.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Not 100% correct, only few -300 built in 1988 have the wing box same as -400. Try B-HON and B-HOM from CX, you will know what I am saying.

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Thats pretty interesting, i never knew that. Thanks for teaching me something new. I knew that some airliners had the upper deck stretched on their 200's but i had no idea that they had two versions of the 300

For anyone else who is interested, here are pictures of the aircraft that tonka mentioned showing the differences

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

Is it Inflight200 doing an official version of this model?

Re: JFox 1:200 Boeing 747-300 Qantas VH-EBU, 'Nalanji Dreaming'
 

I think Qantas wouldn't (or couldn't) license these liveries because the artist didn't allow it?
