Boeing 727-100 Japan Airlines Revell


Recommended Posts

The ancient Revell 727,first issued back in 1964 is in my opinion a pretty nice kit.

Its a bit on the heavy side with all its rivets but I like it more than the Airfix offering.

 

I replaced the cockpit section with a DACO canopy.Its actually designed for their 737 kits but it can be used on Revells 707,727,Airfix 707,727,737 and on Minicrafts 707 with little to no adjustments.

The rather simple wheels from the Revell kit were replaced by resin wheels from Brengun,

the decals for the JAL delivery scheme comes from 8A decals Mexico and are very well made.

Paints are my usual mix of Gunze and Revell.

Metallics are all Gunze.

 

The 60s JAL livery is amongst my favourite liveries and suits the 727 very well.

 

Thanks for looking

Alex

The Brengun wheels make a huge difference
