Balsa 747-100 kit 2.2m(arf)
 

I am proposing in the near future to make available 747-100 kits this has been nagging me now for sometime and im loosing my passion for this hobby, so for those out there that still have that desire its about time someone did something I guess.
assembled from flat pack form to fit in a bigger plane into the box, approximatley 2.2m in length for display or rc. Kit is of conventional balsa frame mostly balsa skinned for aesthetics and tissue in other areas. A big problem with putting a good size 747 model rtf or in foam is that the size of the parts are too large to box and ship this eliminates this possiblity of creating the triple slotted flaps, retractable gear and other scale features that make it worth the money.
I imagine any modeller serious about wanting a scale quality 747 would be willing to put in the time to achieve a fantastic result. I would like to ideally start with the 100 series and then put out every other 747 built.

Any thoughts or ideas welcome.

What absolutely outstanding workmanship!!! I thought you were going to produce another foam plane for the electric ARF people. Last week someone was flying a foam 747 and it looked so scale it was scarry. Yours is a work of art.
