1:200 747
Posted by Don Stauffer on Thursday, December 21, 2017 8:47 AM

Watching video of the last 747 landing yesterday, I thought I'd like to build a 747 in Delta markings commemorating that flight.  But 1:144 is just too large, maybe I'll start looking for one in 1:200.  Does anyone other than Hasagawa make 1:200 airliners?

Hello!

Looks like Hasegawa is the only game in town - but boy is their selection big:

I once did their 767 and it was a very nice model, so why not try Hasegawa?

Good luck with your Jumbo and have a nice day

Thanks!  I had done a quick search and only found the -800 kit.  Nice to know they did several -400s.  Should be able to find one of those.

I also have their 767 kit in my stash, and bought some Delta decals for it.  Hope to get it on my bench in '18.

Don even in 200th scale the 747 is still 14-15" long

Yeah!  You can see why I don't want to do it in 1:144.  I am working on another 747, modifying it in the Dreamlifter.  I have no idea what to do with it when I am done- way to big for any of my storage cases or shelves!

Don, I would say go with the Hasegawa offering. Not only is their offering more space saving, but having been in and around a lot of 747s, the shape is far more accurate than the Revell kit.
