Hey guys, as a few of you may be aware, i won myself a 1:250 scale Qantas Boeing 747 300 on eBay last monday! Well she arrived today, andas a fan of the classic Boeing 747's, i welcomed her with open arms!
<DIV>Now the problem is, she has some pretty bad decal wear, which you will see in the photos! Now hopefully with the help of our online decal master! This girl will get a new set applied to her!</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Enjoy the photos, as she takes her steps to being fully restored. </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Also, any info on the actual model would be great! I looked up W900 and cant find any info! I dont know if it is a Wooster or PPC! Maybe it was sold Inflight??</DIV>

Good luck with your restoration. Look forward to seeing the progress.

[ALITALIA_747]

Thanks Mark! Well i went digging through my spare/left over decals and i found my 1:250 cockpit windshield decals! These come with the frame and windscreen wipers! It will be much better than what is on the model already.

First mock up of portside. Can you check the measurement I've shown as 262mm (it's a guess on my part)
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Just done some more research John and reckon it's probably around the 225mm rather than 262</DIV>

[ALITALIA_747]

Looking good Mike, i got 21.5cm from front window to back window..

[Polynesian Airlines]

Thats cool Mike, so have you done this using Excel?

[Jolly-Roger]

Thats cool Mike, so have you done this using Excel?

<DIV></DIV>All done on Excel Jason. Set the print area and then adjust the print % size till you get the right scale. atm that window pattern is set at 64% to get the 225mm, so 63% should get it down to 215mm
