tomprobert Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 A fascinating project, but would converting the AIM kit be easier?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I love these scratch built projects. Are you also using some plans as well as upscaling the Revell kit? The Revell B747-400 is a bit thin in the tail around the APU and nose cone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nacktgeboren Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 I'm working with a Revell kit with additional Heller 1/125. I fixed nose based on the photos, but I need to check one more time the tail around the APU - it seems to be okay, but I prefer to make sure. The conversion of AIM kit would be simpler, but I like to build from scratch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Using a smaller model to up-scale to 1/72nd - Wow! I'd never have thought of doing that! Will be watching this with great interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 The internal structure work is impressive, now an obvious questions ( I think?). How are you going to skin it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircraftkit Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I shall be following this with interest. What a great idea, what a great project. Good luck ! Donald 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacktgeboren Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 I'm glad you like it. The work is slowly going forward. As the skin I'm going to use HIPS 0.5mm. This is a very soft material, so I do a lot of the frames with additional stiffeners. Otherwise, the body would be too limp and could easily be damaged during further work. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev67 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Very impressive stuff, are you going to have the windows cut out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacktgeboren Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 I will cut out the windows, but luckily there are not many of them - this is the cargo version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
