You're reviewing an HIGHLY ANTICIPATED AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MODEL, A Korean Air B747-8I in a 1:200 scale from JC Wings.This is my 7th Korean Air Model.
Korean Air's B747-8I(Intercontinental)Information: Korean Air Became the 3rd Operator after Lufthansa and Air China to Acquire this Prestigious State of the Art Aircraft as the Airline took Delivery of its First B747-8I(Intercontinental)

Korean Air ordered 10 Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental Jetliners to add to their fleet,
With 5 of those Jetliners Currently Operating in Service and Another 5 are on back order,
With an option to purchase 10 more.

This Prestigious Livery Features the Blue Top,The Silver in the Middle, and the White on the lower part of the Fuselage along with the Enlarged Corporate"Korean Air" Logo
Featuring the Stylized symbol of the Taeguk
Design that was first Unveiled on its Fokker F28 Aircraft.This Livery was Designed in
Cooperation Between Korean Air and Boeing and has been this Airline's Signature Trademark Livery look ever since 1984.
The"Skyteam"Logo: Korean Air joined the Skyteam Alliance as one of the Founding members on June 22,2000 which consists of 20 Airline Members from 5 Inhabited Continents.

The Raked Wingtips: These Raked Wingtips,
Similar to the ones that are used on the B777-200LR's,The B777-300ER's,and the B787's are now used on the New Boeing 747
Variant Instead of the Winglets that were used on the Boeing 747-400.These Wingtip Structures help reduce the Wingtip Vortices at the Lateral Edges of the Wings,Decreasing
Wake Turbulence and Drag and Thereby Improving Fuel Efficiency.
