Revell 03999 Boeing 747-200 1:450 Scale Unbuilt/Unpainted Plastic Model Kit

Bought for a gift and received very warmly

Wanted something small and simple to make whilst doing some bigger kits. Obviously at this scale it is quite small and didn’t expect too much detail but this has very little. On the fuselage and wings there are panel lines but they are totally out of scale. The decals have the windows on them but the fuselage also has “windows” that are massive. The engines have no detail whatsoever and not even the pretence of an opening. It does go together reasonably well and it was easy to get the fuselage assembled without much of a seam line. Other parts like the wing and engines have no locating pins so you have to align them by sight. When sanding the fuselage seam I also sanded off the window details and the result is much better.Despite the low part count and size I would say this isn’t for a beginner. It is very fiddly to wok on. Yes it is small but for a similar price you can get much better kits with more detail, photo etched parts and a lot more detail. Disappointed.

wasnt size i exspected

It was cheap but not great

Crap but is cheap, not even stickers for it

A tad boring

Supposed to be 4 slots on the wings to locate engine's, not there , also missing 2 holes for the wheels . Rubbish.

Very very small and parts are tiny, the DC10 is better as that bit bigger but still very fidly . Pleased with the small DC10 but disappointed with this , almost threw it away, rather than bother with it. Stick to the 1:144 scale of airliners, much more satisfying to build and paint
