UNITED AIRLINES 747-400 'FLAPS DOWN'

YOU CAN WATCH THE FULL VIDEO @cjsdiecasthangar

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE RIGHT 747-400 LIVERY TO GET IN THE FLAPS DOWN VERSION. WHAT A BETTER PLANE TO GET THE FLAPS DOWN VERSION FOR THE MOST VARIATION?

WHEN I SAW THIS UNITED, ONE OF MY FAVOURITE LIVERIES, I JUMPED ON THE OPPORTUNITY. THANKS FLIGHT CITY IN RICHMOND BC CANADA FOR BEING MY PRIMARY SUPPLIER OF DIE-CAST PLANES.

MY COLLECTING STARTED WITH THE FORMER NAME, AVIATION WORLD, AND I HAVE CONTINUED TO ADD AND SELL DIE-CAST PLANES IN THIS DIE-CAST PLANE MARKETPLACE.

THE LIVERY IN THIS VIDEO IS SO REFRESHING. TO SEE THOSE COLOURS AGAIN ON THAT PLANE, I AM SUPER STOKED. AND TO SEE THE MAGNITUDE OF THOSE FLAPS DOWN POSITION. WOW. SO HEAVY. GIVES ME A SENSE OF THE SIZE.

I LOVE THE TRANSITION FROM THE DARK BLUE ON THE BOTTOM TO THE LIGHTER BLUE AND THEN WHITE OF THE FUSELAGE. I LOVE THE DOUBLE U's ON THE TAIL. UU BLENDS SO NICELY. NICE DESIGN. LIKE IT SO MUCH I AM SAD THAT IT ISN'T STILL THEIR LIVERY. THE WING TIPS MATCH THE FUSELAGE AS WELL WITH THE GRADUAL MOVE FROM DARK BLUE TO LIGHT BLUE AS IT GOES UPWARDS.

THE ENGINES ARE DARK BLUE AND MATCH THE BOTTOM OF THE FUSELAGE, WHICH IS WHERE THEY HANG FROM THE WING AT THE SAME DARK BLUE HEIGHT OF THE FUSELAGE.

THESE WHEELS ACTUALLY ROLL VERY NICELY. I WAS REALLY SURPRISED TO DISCOVER THAT. NOT MANY SEEM TO, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW. MOST METAL DIE-CAST DON'T.
