Yes....let's say that you buy the equipment but after that you have to learn how to use it and after that how to mix the paint in order to get the desired colors and after that are fitting problems that take you all the time :)
@@SmallScaleFun Do i really need all of this equipment i just received mine and i want to use paint i'm in an apartment and outside i highly doubt it's allowed for spray paint
For this kit, I use lacquer paints from Mr. Hobby and I spray them in my garage with a 3200 rpm fan in order to absorb the smell. They smell awful. I doubt you can use them in your apartment with a hand brush. So, the answer is yes; you need an airbrush, compressor, and a spray cabinet. But, if you have the kit with small bottle paints from Revell you can use the brush in multiple paint layers with a paint retarder (it will increase the drying time and let the paint spread on the fuselage).
Hello and thank you for stopping by and comment. I also love this model even if Revell should do a better job on engines, overall is good kit and decals are very nice.
Greeting from Jacksonville, Florida. Really liked the build , I also like airliners as well. Looks awesome and a great job on the seamlines and sanding. Have a great week 👍👍
Greetings from Dortmund, Germany.:) Thank you for your appreciation it means a lot to me. I try to do my best on all my builds and constantly evolving. A wonderful week for you too and hope that I can read your comments on my next builds.:)
@@SmallScaleFun Thank you. I collect Herpa Wings in 1/500 scale. I have about 110 currently. Do you know of them or collect them? The details from Herpa are outstanding! 👍👍🇩🇪🤝🇺🇸
@@chrisC052 I just notice Herpa Wings kits today in a HO train store when I bought black gloss primer and stainless steel paint from ALCAD for my 787 Dreamliner. I will try some of these Herpa 1/500 scale kits in my future builds. Thank you! Cheers :)
@@SmallScaleFun Germany makes awesome modeling supplies and kits (Revell Germany) Herpa Wings, model trains and radio control kits some of the best in the world. I watch a TH-cam channel from Germany, this young man builds airliners as well, it ZockerJ. I think is is about 15, but this young man is extremely talented. This guy will be working for Revell or Tamiya one day! Take a look if you already haven't, I think you would enjoy it. Have a great week and stay safe and healthy. 👍👍🇩🇪🤝🇺🇸
@@chrisC052 Yes, I saw his channel and like the 1/144 Boeing series. I also like the Revell kits like Porsche Boxster 1/24 scale, Boeing 747 KLM 1/450 scale, Heinkel, now I work on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner 1/144 scale. A real relaxation for me are also Tamiya kits, I have a Nissan 370 Fairlady 1/24 scale and Honda Fireblade 1/12 scale in my further projects. Thank you! Wish you the same.
@@SmallScaleFun hahah, I have exactly the same situation, I'm working on MiG-29, decided to have a rest. Another reason why I'm doing it, I have 2 airplanes (this Boeing and Airbus A350-900), I failed them. I have all necessary things at home for modeling, moved to another place. Have no idea I'm going to start modeling (lol continue 😂😂) so I bought 2 planes, and made them only with brushes..... Technically A350 looks pretty good, from 1m distance but if you have a closer look 😅😭. So I decided to get good paints and make them as best as I can. Boeing is ready (only painting left, waiting for a shipment), and Airbus is still in his box. What to do with old models? Maybe to make them abandoned? Or try to make them fly?😂😂😂😂 (Not a one way ticket)
Hey! It has a small gap in the middle of the plane; you need to push the stand up and forward. After that, place a small point of glue for clear parts. (for my model it was like that) Thank you!
Found the part #29 in this assembly set. It is look like two pins. But in assembling manual it absent. May be somebody know what is this? I guess - it is the remain from other modification of this plane and doesn't fit to this model.
Hello! After finishing painting the model, I apply a coat of varnish. When the varnish is dry (1-2 days) I apply the decals and I do like this: - cut the decal and put it in warm water for 30 -60 seconds - if the decal is easy to apply and I already know that will fit correctly in the position that I want - I will apply TAMIYA MARK FIT STRONG on the surface model. If I need to adjust the decal, I will apply water to the surface model because the solution will soften the decal and I won't be able to adjust it. - apply the decal - remove the excess Tamiya Mark Fit Strong or water with an ear stick (the decal will stay on the model surface ) - apply Tamiya Mark Fit Strong 2 or 3 times on decal after each layer is dry (3-5 minutes) - apply another varnish coat (flat or gloss) I like Tamiya Mark Fit Strong because is a good softener for decals, I never had a problem with the paint or varnish, and is a single solution bottle :)) If you need more info, please let me know. Cheers!
Do what all we do in this type of situation - improvise :))))) PS: I don't have the stand anymore, but if I remember correctly, I cut the high part of the stand so that it would be flat
Hello You should definitely build this Boeing 747, the kit is cheap, the decals are greater, and is a great addition to your stash. Also, is easy to build, and yes I recommend it to build in a spare time.
Yes is a nice level 3 kit (if you bought the 1:144 scale version), it is on my list :)) For my next projects, I have Boeing 737 from Zvezda and Airbus A380 from Revell I just can't wait to build them
@@002aviation7 :))) depends. I'm a full-time vet and sometimes I'm very busy. Now I'm working on a Castrol Toyota Supra GT but average between 2 and 3 weeks/ model if I don't mess up something.
No, is not water. After I emerge decal in water in order to come off from holding paper I use Tamiya Mark Fit Strong to soften and fix the decals. After that, I will apply the varnish (gloss or flat).
For me is a must-have :) Without something to softener the decals you won't be able to fix them. Revell has - Decal Soft and is very cheap. If you want to try something better, use Micro Scale set or Tamiya Mark fit Strong. I use Tamiya Mark Fit Strong solution even when I'm applying decals on tires. (I have a Toyota Supra at work and I mess up the rims paint, but the video will be out until Monday and you can see how to apply decals on tires)
Hey! It was a nice and easy kit to build, I have a lot of issues with other car kits that I want to build so, from time to time I like to build some easy kits like this :)
This video was very helpful to find my first airplane model
Glad that I can help :)
Aww man I really miss the 747-200
Yep, me to :)
Bought this, expecting it to arrive today.
You made a great choice! :)
Next, will be the lacquer paints for this kit :)
@@SmallScaleFun Ok! I’m very excited for it to arrive. The Boeing planes are my favorite. It got delayed so I am still waiting for it to ship.
Did you buy other stuff or just this kit?
@@SmallScaleFun Just the kit.
I like how they expect you to have all of this equipment

@@002aviation7 I have all the tools except for a spray gun you don't need it it just helps alot
Got it at my local store! Looks great!
*but im still trying to figure out how to use the glue*
Wonderful!
Is very simple.
If you have Revell glue, just place glue on edges and fix the parts (with duct tape or cloth clamps for wings) for 10 -15 minutes.
*oh yeah and the stickers suck*
@@leaffed lol :)))))
Love this model I purchased it a while ago and it’s just great. Amazing work
Hello and thank you for stopping by and comment.

Nice it’s very cheap I mean in price on Amazon so I gave the e190 and this a try since they’re in a good price range and not so hard can’t wait

Hi! Just got this model and built it. Can you explain to me how to put the plane on the stand? Thank you!

Thank you for your answer! On my plane it wasn't like that so I just glued the stand under it. Im still thankful for your answer😁!
Lol, always needs to improvise in this hobby.
Thakyou
Found the part #29 in this assembly set. It is look like two pins. But in assembling manual it absent. May be somebody know what is this? I guess - it is the remain from other modification of this plane and doesn't fit to this model.
Yep, something like that :)
I also have the remaining parts from different models.
I just use them for minor changes on other models.
Wait…. It gotta be grey they whole thing?
Gray is the primer :))
@@SmallScaleFun huh? Sorry I don’t understand it that well. Could you explain it maybe a bit more?
I thought you said that the model should be gray color but gray is primer and white color is spray over primer :)
What do you use for glueing the decals when I do that the decals go bad
Hello!
After finishing painting the model, I apply a coat of varnish.
When the varnish is dry (1-2 days) I apply the decals and I do like this:
- cut the decal and put it in warm water for 30 -60 seconds
- if the decal is easy to apply and I already know that will fit correctly in the position that I want - I will apply TAMIYA MARK FIT STRONG on the surface model. If I need to adjust the decal, I will apply water to the surface model because the solution will soften the decal and I won't be able to adjust it.
- apply the decal
- remove the excess Tamiya Mark Fit Strong or water with an ear stick (the decal will stay on the model surface )
- apply Tamiya Mark Fit Strong 2 or 3 times on decal after each layer is dry (3-5 minutes)
- apply another varnish coat (flat or gloss)
I like Tamiya Mark Fit Strong because is a good softener for decals, I never had a problem with the paint or varnish, and is a single solution bottle :))
If you need more info, please let me know.
Cheers!
How to fit plastic stand?
It is easy; you hat to use glue and fit the part on the middle of the plane
@@SmallScaleFun Well, I get that, but that middle part under the plane is flat, and stand looks like it can fit somehow 🤔 thx anyway :)
Do what all we do in this type of situation - improvise :)))))
PS: I don't have the stand anymore, but if I remember correctly, I cut the high part of the stand so that it would be flat
@@SmallScaleFun thought so, improvise, adapt, overcome 😂
LOL, yes
How many parts?
I don't know exactly;
I think there are around 30 parts.
29 if be to precise. But the part #29 so strange, because in assembling manual it absent. May be somebody know what is this?

Does the gear retract or can you just remove it?
I like to make the planes like they fly so, you can remove the landing gear and use the plastic stand instead.
@@SmallScaleFun Ok!
