Thread: 747 Fan looking for his first model, please help

Thanks for the link very helpful. OMG that KLM Looks beautiful. I need one of that , Too sad nobody makes them like that.

Welcome aboard afx79!!You may like Inflight 744's. They are very nice, have gear with rolling rubber tires-suggest you don't roll the plane though. They just don't have full flap config.

They just don't have full flap config. Why not roll the plane? Not that most people actually "play" with their models lol, but I will say my IF200 747's the landing gear are rock solid!! Its my Gemini 200's that I dont think I...

Welcome to the forum! The best B747's IMO is IF200 or AV200, I have a GSS B744F and its the best model in my collection, Herpa and Hogan models are also verynice aswell but Skymarks/Risesoon B747's are nice but arnt as good but I have alot of them.

welcome to the forum, in my opinion HG 747s are the way to go. the details you get for the price are unmatched!

Hasegawa is your best bet BTW, welcome to the forum and the hobby. Just remember, collecting 1/200 models is like PRINGLES potato chips....."Once you start, you can't stop"....... Larry

lol i asked the same question for my first post here, have a look at this thread, it may help http://www.diecastaircraftforum.com/...out-there.html Welcome to the forum!

as long as there are dummy klutzes out there in the collecting world companies wont make stuff with movable flaps. they do have the ability to do it though. too many returns/defective items/etc, just look back at the continuing gemini jets antenna fiasco and how long it took hogan to come to terms with adding antenna on their planes... introducing any small intricate parts = more support for that product by company = higher costs = pricier...

Yeah, Inflight 200s would be BRILLIANT if they were like THAT!! Maybe I'm one of these 'Dummy klutzes' but I've never seen a model with movable flaps before, so why should I know any better??
