This in fact is the very first 747, the roll-out model, first flight and all that (actualy next year i think it will be 40 years since its first flight! 40 Years!
The eagle eyed amongst you will note she is not in rollout colours however, with all the shiny bits and airline launch customer logos. No, i found a website with several piccys of her looking a bit sad for herself with her engines missing.
And these are the colours she wears now, bar a few logos i havent done yet! But apparently they do still use her, most recently for engine tests for the 777 i think i read, which is why she has no engines.....although they did appear to be on the ground underneath her wings!
Bit of work to do which im doing concurrently with the BOAC jobby, but im quite liking these, now i have a proper good looking 747-200 (made into a 100) to play with
Although i dont really know what engines to shod her with - these are PW's at the mo, anyone knows what shes ran with id be interested to hear - i know the RR trents been on here at some point going by the logos!
Now ill shut up and watch the replies stay at zero

Thanks for looking anyway
