My long awaited 747 is here!!! Flight instructions, ACT:1 and ACT:2 for lights and trim down for flaps. Thanks to @Kikasshes for helping me with the gear!!! As you can see, this is my most detailed plane yet!!! So an upvote would be greatly appreciated!
History:
The Boeing 747 is a wide-body commercial jet airliner and cargo aircraft, often referred to by its original nickname, Jumbo Jet, or Queen of the Skies. Its distinctive "hump" upper deck along the forward part of the aircraft makes it among the world's most recognizable aircraft,[6] and it was the first wide-body produced. Manufactured by Boeing's Commercial Air rplane unit in the United States, the original version of the 747 had two and a half times greater capacity than the Boeing 707,[7] one of the common large commercial aircraft of the 1960s. First flown commercially in 1970, the 747 held the passenger capacity record for 37 years.[8]

The four-engine 747 uses a double deck configuration for part of its length. It is available in passenger, freighter and other versions. Boeing designed the 747's hump-like upper deck to serve as a first class lounge or extra seating, and to allow the aircraft to be easily converted to a cargo carrier by removing seats and installing a front cargo door. Boeing did so because the company expected supersonic airliners (development of which was announced in the early 1960s) to render the 747 and other subsonic airliners obsolete, while the demand for subsonic cargo aircraft would be robust well into the future.[9] The 747 was expected to become obsolete after 400 were sold,[10] but it exceeded critics' expectations with production passing the 1,000 mark in 1993.[11] By March 2016, 1,520 aircraft had been built, with 23 of the 747-8 variants remaining on order.[4]

The 747-400, the most common passenger version in service, has a high-subsonic cruise speed of Mach 0.85–0.855 (up to 570 mph or 920 km/h) with an intercontinental range of 7,260 nautical miles (8,350 mi or 13,450 km).[12] The 747-400 passenger version can accommodate 416 passengers in a typical three-class layout, 524 passengers in a typical two-class layout, or 660 passengers in a high density one-class configuration.[13] The newest version of the aircraft, the 747-8, is in production and received certification in 2011. Deliveries of the 747-8F freighter version to launch customer Cargolux began in October 2011; deliveries of the 747-8I passenger version to Lufthansa began in May 2012.

    @scottishjocks thank you! It is very difficult to do the delta widget livery, but it is my favorite, did you know? Delta was thefirst airline to operate the l1011 dc-10 and 747 all at once

    @kikasshes because I have to do certain curves at certain points on the types of fuselage like circular or curved

    Pro tip: XML fuselage blocks to be longer/wider/taller to reduce the part count. (Like instead of five 5x5 circular fuselages in a row you can mod one to be 25 in length.)

    @Manatee thanks, that what I really struggle to do, I want to do as much detail as I possibly can, but sometimes I go overboard and mess up, so i leave out the details I cant do without it still looking neat

    This too could work alt text and I'm probably going to find more paint scheme that could work because it seams like everyone flew this thing.
