Building a small Boeing 747 -200 plastic model (Revell 1:450 kit)

Today we have a reasonable Revell 1:450 scale kit that is Boeing 747-200 KLM. It's my first kit after more than ten years of absence from the scale modeling world. The kit was nice and fun to build, sometimes even provocative, because my modeling techniques have been partially forgotten.
I made some mistakes with this small-scale kit, like seams between the joints when I use Tamiya white surface primmer to fill them up, but they didn't come out quite fine or how I wanted them to be. Also, by using Tamiya Strong decal solution, the timing wasn't quite good, and the "KLM" decal, for the left-wing, stuck to my fingers.
The number one problem was the Aluminium metallic 99 color supplied with the kit that clogs my airbrush. Even if I try to dilute the color, the problem persists. I like the blue gloss paint from Revell that was supplied with this kit, it has a smooth and vivid effect. Also, a lot of tweaks were needed for all plastic parts and joints.
You can find this beautiful kit here:

    I intend to improve this model a bit. I'm not a fan of the details, they seem a bit too crude and I'm surprised that Revell hasn't improved on this one. I want to carefully drill the windows and put a clear plastic and also cut a hole in the engine front and add some details inside, like spinning blades. I feel it would improve this model a lot. I know it's a small and cheap model, but this is no excuse for Revell. They could have easily made those engines look just a bit more realistic. Also, some better details on the landing gear.

    Hey! Sorry for my late response. I was very busy. Yes, you are right, Revell needs to add more details on their plastic models like this even if they are cheap. This Boeing was my first model built after a break of approx 10 years. I bought another kit to improve the engine (they are hilarious) and intend to add a runway to :)

    It was very hard, I can tell you for sure. At first, I was thinking that I do something wrong, but the model is not perfect so I do like this - start with the decals from one side (left or right) and go with the decals from the front to the back of the plane. After you finish one side start from the back of the plane for the other side, first prepare all the decals and see how they fit (you can adjust the decals if they are longer) and use Tamiya Mark fit strong but only after you place the decal on definitive position and adjust the decal as better you can in first 30 seconds after you apply Tamiya Mark fit Strong. All the best!

    Hey, thank you for your appreciation. I use my kitchen for airbrushing and I get a cheap airbrush, It is an entry-level that costs me around 100 $ (is like training for further models) but I also use, for definitive touch, the brushes supplied with this kit. And for air, I bought a cheap compressor (I use this compressor on my nail stamper) with an air pressure regulator that has a 25 litter air reservoir. You have to be careful when you set the pressure and is working great. (note that a special airbrush compressor will be more useful but when you have a tight budget you improvise)

    @@GabrielViana-mg3vh Yep, your right. Keep in mind that you need a lot of research before buy or do anything. I use Harder & Steenbeck Ultra 2 in 1 airbrush after a couple of hours of reading to see a proper airbrush for beginners and I'm please about my choice. It is really impressive what a relatively cheap airbrush can do. I intend to upgrade my equipment in time, but for this moment, this airbrush is more than what I need. See you at the next video :)

    Yes, you get a brush, Revell glue, and paints - Aluminium metallic 99, Blue and Gray. The big problem is with Aluminium metallic 99 because the paint clogs the airbrush nozzle, so take care. And a good side is that are water-based.
