NG Model 1/400 Lufthansa Boeing 747-8 [D-ABYM] Model Airplane Review

Pity about the leading edge on the horizontal stabilizers not being correctly painted. Still, awesome mould!

I think the cockpit windows were fixed for this model. If you want to know what the original cockpit windows looked like and what collectors were complaining about, you will need to check the Lufthansa retro version from NG. Those are too big indeed, but this model should be corrected. I also don’t get why collectors are so keen on getting the most perfect coloring for paint. Especially when it is easily in the ballpark of the real plane. The problem here is that real photos will always be a different due to lighting, and the models will also look different in different lighting. I have found images of the real plane where the coloring of this model would be considered perfect. If the color is way way off, then I would understand. One thing I however don’t understand about this model, which nobody has seemed to notice, is that NG are pretty much the only ones that don’t have the fuel jettison nozzles molded on the wings. I find that strange that they would not have those. Anyways, those were my 2 cents on the model.

Thanks for your long comment! About the cockpit windows, I was not 100% sure about the size either so that's why I mentioned the window size issue. As for the color, they did a good job on it in my opinion. Whether it's 100% accurate or not, I couldn't tell you, but it seems good enough. I did not notice that detail about the fuel jettison nozzles, thank you for telling me!
