Boeing 747-400

May 5, 2024 · in Aviation · · 10 · 202

The high capacity wide-body airliner. In service since 1989 is depicted in a scale company model usually given to valued customers.

A friend had the model in display. The model was shattered after a free fall, and he approached me to have it fixed . All engines broke off together with an elevator and a cracked fuselage. The model does not have wheels and requires a stand, It is perhaps, the largest aircraft model I ever attended. I added the appropriate backgrounds once the restoration work was completed.

  1. No scale model job is out of the comfort zone of a supreme modeler and your superb work with this 747 proves exactly this, Rafi!
    Congratulations!

  2. Your friend obviously took it to the right guy. You can't tell looking at the model that any of the damage you described ever happened. Great work!

  3. A perfect repair of this iconic aircraft, Rafi @blackmopane
    Hard to believe this model did suffer so much damage.
    It does look really nice the way you photographed it.
