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

[@robbertsprezzatura7220]

Thanks for the video, wish I watched it before I made mine. So I didn't screw everything up haha, great work!

[@SmallScaleFun]

Hey! Thank you! I plan to rebuild this model to be more perfect :))

[@RobertoHa-rt3gi]

Nice video, thanks. In the right hand the result looks good

[@SmallScaleFun]

Thank you for your appreciation. The result is reasonable, is my first model after more than 10 years. The next model, I think, will be a Tamiya Nissan 370 z if I will be prepared for it.

[@TheCubicplanet]

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.

[@SmallScaleFun]

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 :)

How do you get the decal by the front in the right place? At my model te decal doesn’t fit perfect

[@SmallScaleFun]

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!

I have this and am wondering what paint u used like what brand and shade of blue grey and white

[@SmallScaleFun]

Hey! For blue - "Sky Blue", white is "Cool White" or gloss white, and gray is "Royal Light Gray" or XF-80. Blue and White are from Mr Hobby Laquer paints and gray is Tamiya acrylic paint. Also, sky blue from Tamiya x-14, white x-2 if you want just acrylic paints.

Why did I builded the same thing, but this guys done like 1000% better than me

[@SmallScaleFun]

LOL I'm sure that your model is better than mine

[@Katzme2]

[@SmallScaleFun]

Lol, ok

Mua ở đâu đấy❤

[@matejafrenc]

Nice but you didnt show how to glue the engines its alr though Thanks a lot

[@SmallScaleFun]

Hey! It was my first video on this channel and I dind't really know how and what to film. But I intend to rebuild this kit :)

[@WazeedaAfroze]

Hey just advice to save glue for other models u can don't do a line where u are gluing just dab the glue in important areas to save glue and time

[@SmallScaleFun]

Thank you for stopping by and comment! It was my first model after a long time, now I'm more careful with glue :) Thank you for your tip!

[@georgspence4999]

I’m not a big fan of Revell kits. Too much flash and the parts don’t fit together very well. But you did the paint and decals well and salvaged the kit.

[@SmallScaleFun]

Hey! Thank you for stopping by and comment and for your appreciation. Yes, you are right; they have a lot of fitting problems, but I bought a new Boeing 747 kit to build it more perfectly :))

[@The_last_prime]

you are a menace, old revell kits are the ones your probably talking about but the newer ones are amazing. try building the newer one but be careful because a good deal of the old kits get repackaged and bam theyre new kits

[@ДенисДенисов-щ2м]

what about 5 gram weight in the nose of fuselage?

[@SmallScaleFun]

I forgot about that :))

[@ДенисДенисов-щ2м]

@@SmallScaleFun but in your case it no need, cause you choose plane mode without wheels

[@christophercarrera2005]

Do not worry, my model result is worst

[@SmallScaleFun]

I will do my best for next models

[@goldenboyND76]

Now crash it into the Pan Am 747 in Tenerife

[@SmallScaleFun]

:))

[@ДенисДенисов-щ2м]

fun and sin

[@GabrielViana-mg3vh]

But everyone is like using an airbrush! I don't have room for it sadly. But you model came out great!

[@SmallScaleFun]

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]

@@SmallScaleFun Thanks for this reply! I see that not all air brushes require a garden and that much. room

[@SmallScaleFun]

@@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 :)

[@Moonteo2]

What grit sandpaper do you use?

[@SmallScaleFun]

For such small planes 1500-2000-2500 grit sandpaper

[@Moonteo2]

@@SmallScaleFun Ok thank you a lot!

[@SmallScaleFun]

@@Moonteo2 no problem :)

[@rwsthomas2000]

근데사고기라니

[@SmallScaleFun]

I plan to build another one more crisp :)

[@cpaustralia1]

Does this kit come with the paint and the glue

[@SmallScaleFun]

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.

[@cpaustralia1]

Small Scale Fun thanks so much

[@SmallScaleFun]

@@cpaustralia1 Also, thank you that you stopped by and comment on this video.

[@multifandom6346]

@@SmallScaleFun Hi, I love your model but I didnt get glue, paint or brushes with the plane

[@SmallScaleFun]

Hello and sorry for my late response, I miss the comment. You have to look for a complete kit. They can be sold separately.
