I didn't. It arrived with grey engines. three out of four were removed (I'm guessing either leased, or low hour engines suitable for reuse), and had 3 'scrap' engines added off other recently arrived 747s, complete with their blue intakes and reverser units. Grey access covers from original engines then re-installed, hence what she looks like now. Its a shame they haven't repainted them. Although I guess now best left until next summer assuming this work will be done outside.
