  1. Well spotted didn't think anybody would see it, but it has been put right with a tiny bit of heat. It happened in the box with everything on top of it and bent it

    Ok, good to know it is fixed. It would be a shame if such a great model would have been ruined by a crooked tail when all it takes is for one person to just point it out and all is well.

    But once again, great model. Hope that i ever get the skills and courage to make such a drastic conversion.

  2. Interesting question, I have considered this conversion too.. as far as I know, the fuselage of the -300 and -200SUD is identical to the fuse of the -400. However, I would not use any part of the Airfix kit but go searching for the Revell 747-100 or -200. I have never seen the Airfix kit but I have heard it is terrible. With the Revell -200 fuselage you can build a 747-400F with the -400's wings as the -400F has a short upper deck :)

    Well, i too wanted to start with a revell 747-200 but it is very hard to find and very expensive. That's why i wanted to look for an airfix 747 and use a less expensive revell 747-400, because i just spend 1 year and alot of money to aquire one Revell 747-200 and that is the shuttle carrier wich i don't want to cut up. I'd like to use 2 revell 747-400's and 1 airfix 747-200 to make a 747-400F (747-400 fuselage with the upperdeck of the airfix kit) and a 747-300 (fuselage of a 747-400 with the airfix wings)

    .

  3. I've been looking on the forum and finding similar topics, but not really what i'm looking for.

    If you combine that revell 1/144 747-400's body with a airfix 747-200's wings, would you get a variant of the 747-300 or just a plane that never excisted and if so, what is (besides making one of the last 8 747-300's) the easiest or best way of converting a 747-400 revell kit into a 747-300?

    Thanks in advance.

  4. Very nice so far. I have the same kit in my stash and it is my plan too build the exact same livery that you are building.

    This being said, i already noticed a fault with the decals regarding this livery. The decal of the russian flag on the tail is undersized. It should be about 30% larger, thats why i decided to paint that flag because it doesn't seem all that hard to do.

    But once more, very nice build.

    BTW, the tail decal is well suited for placement on 'normal' style russian airforce tails of an 124's. I have a picture of the 2 version parked together that shows the sized difference pretty well.

  5. Not to sound negative or discouraging but be prepared to spend some $$$. I just saw a Revell 1/144 767-300 go for $35 on eBay and that's the cheapest one! The A330 will probably run you at least $70 and the A310 will most likely be in the $70 range as well...if you can find one.

    I recently (2 months ago) bought a Revell A310 (interflug) for 20 euro. That's about 25 dollars, so you can still find them.

    But the 747-200 in 1/144 is a mistery. Looking for that one for months now. Come on Revell. Reissue it.
