Have to cobble something suitable from this decalset as it is the only one that might scale correctly to a 1/390 Jumbo

Most of the decal patching seems to work out on the Jumbo, a few minor touchups. I'm happy with the result.

The final decals are on and it all seems to have fitted together to produce something like I was hoping for

![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/0/6/6/1446066-114585-56-720.jpg)
Also had done a very straight forward Tu-144 in similar scale

Thats the end of this grand Jumbo, they will be missed..

Album info
My First 747 Jumbo flight 1989 SYD-LAX. Decal Sheet will provide the Continental 'Meatball' tailplane logo and maybe some of the triple colour band along the length of the fuselage, except the Gold which will be painted on.
