    Hi everyone!

    This is the Revell (actually it is a Heller 1974 mold) 1/450 Boeing 747-200. The kit was bought from a vendor during my hometown's March 2023 model show. Understandably, I had a lot of pressure from my sons to start it, so, off this simplistic kit goes...
    Here is the progress so far...
    Will be finished as a KLM bird.
    More to come!

    Looking forward to seeing this one, Spiros (@fiveten). It seems outside your normal path, but it will look cool when its done. I always hate to do airliners because of the long, thin stripes in the decals.

    I’m sure it will look great, Spiros @fiveten, 1/450 is an unusual scale though, isn’t it?

    Thanks my friend @chinesegeorge! Yes, 1/450 is definitely unusual, more like a desktop suitable scale.

    White applied on the fin, the leftover paint was used as filler...

    Thanks for stopping by!

    I see the Humbrol blue tones are already selected.

    Thanks my friend @johnb! My younger son made the selection, offering me two options for the blue, so...the shades have been chosen and are non-negotiable πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„

    Looking good already, @fiveten, the blues look like a great choice.
