Re: [AMD] Airfix 747-200 kit 1/144

Charles,

Revell took over the Matchbox kits, so maybe that's where you got confused. They just reissued the Mtchbox PB4Y-2, which also can be built as a C-87, which, I think was used by some airlines.

Hello Ron. Thank you for the comments. I had thought years ago REvell took over Airfix's brand but I guess that wasn't the case. I had no idea of what Airfix went through and still is Airfix today. Its very interesting what you pointed out there about Airfix. The box said it was manufactured in the U.K. Humbrol paints are advertised on the box as well. I've been told its not that great of a kit but as mentioned previously, I'm hoping to get the BraZ GE conversion engines since Alitalia used them on their 747-200s. Thanks for the information Ron. Once I get this 747 done I'll be happy to post it on here.

Charles
