1/144 Boeing 747 'Project Cutaway' - Dragon


1-144 Boeing 747 Project Cutaway: Wonders of Mankind - Dragon.jpg

Announced at the 2011 Hong Kong Toy Fair:
Dragon are to launch a series of 'educational models' featuring cutaway sections.It would appear the series overall will be of different subjec types and scales. However, in the first set of releases there is a Boeing 747 (I have checked the Revell 747 and they are not the same) the assumption is it is a new mold. It is not clear if these will be prebuilt and prepainted (possibley?)

It appears to be same series that
offered us the 1:72 Space Shuttle,
1:100 Saturn V Cutaway models. Next
models being 1:32 Apollo, 1:24 LEM
and 1:350 Titanic. This wonderful
DRAGON line consist of painted and easy snap assembly kits. Along
AOSHIMA 1:144 high quality space
models, and DRAGON 1:144, 1:400, and 1:72 air and space subjects, we truly are in a golden age of superbly built models. Thank's to
these 2 manufacturers.

The Thai kit is a 747-400 there is also a Braniff International 747-100 and a great looking Roman Colleseum.
