Full details

Its key benefit lies in the accurate replication of the Boeing 707-320 airframe with realistic surface details and the distinctive radar dome.

FAQs

What scale is this model kit?

This is a 1:144 scale model kit.

Are paints and glue included with the kit?

No, paints, glue, and necessary tools are sold separately and must be acquired by the builder.

What is the recommended age for this model kit?

Due to small parts and the nature of model building, this kit is generally recommended for ages 12 and up, with adult supervision suggested for younger builders.

How long does it typically take to build this model?

The time required can vary greatly depending on the builder's experience, the detail level, and drying times for glue and paint. It can range from several hours to multiple days.

Can I build the landing gear in a retracted position?

The instructions typically detail how to assemble the landing gear in the extended position. Building it retracted might require significant modification and is not explicitly supported by the instructions.

Where can I find paint color recommendations?

A painting guide is included with the kit, providing recommended colors for achieving a realistic finish.

What type of plastic is this kit made from?

This kit is made from standard polystyrene plastic, typical for Revell model kits.

Troubleshooting

Parts do not fit correctly.

Ensure you are using the correct parts as indicated in the instructions. Check for any mold lines or excess plastic that may need to be carefully trimmed or sanded down.

Glue is visible on clear parts (e.g., canopy).

Use model cement sparingly, applying it only to the edges where parts join. For clear parts, consider using a specialized clear part cement or a glue stick designed to minimize fogging.

Decals are not adhering or are tearing.

Apply decals to a smooth, glossy surface for best adhesion. Use decal setting solution to help them conform to surface details. Handle decals carefully with tweezers and apply them gently with a soft brush or cotton swab.

Paint is not adhering to the plastic.

Ensure the plastic surface is clean and free of grease or dust before painting. Use a suitable primer designed for plastic models. Ensure you are using model-specific paints.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a plastic model kit that requires assembly using model cement (not included) and painting. Carefully follow the step-by-step illustrated instructions provided in the manual. Ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace. Parts should be carefully removed from the sprues and cleaned if necessary before gluing.

Compatibility: This kit is a standalone product and does not require external compatibility with other Revell products beyond potentially compatible paints and adhesives. The 1:144 scale is standard for many aircraft models.

Care: Once assembled and painted, the model can be dusted gently with a soft brush or a can of compressed air held at a distance. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the paint finish and plastic. Store the finished model away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent fading or warping.
