  • Added some details to my Hogan KLM 747-400

    I did a little bit of detail work on my Hogan KLM 747-400 "City of Orlando" model.

    This was my first 1:200 airliner and I was pretty impressed by it when I got it. I then received two GeminiJets models and saw the added details they came with and decided to see what I could do to improve my 747.

    I added roof top and underside antennas and rotating beacon detail top and bottom as well. I also disassembled the wheels and painted them in Model Masters aircraft grey. I do like these Hogan wheel sets just did not like the plain die-cast metal color they were.

    I am not a really skilled modeler and this is probably not anywhere near 100% accurate but I am pretty happy with the results and thought I would share. I am in the process of doing similar to my Hogan 757-200 and A319 and will post up the results when I get them finished.

    I still think Hogan offers a great value for the money and I do have three more inbound that will be getting the same treatment.

    David.

    very cool video! Great ideas for finding parts. Any thoughts on what you could use for wifi and directtv antennas?

      Thanks Foundation. As for the other antennas I have not been able to figure that one out yet.

            Yeah when I got my first GJ model I was blown away by the detail in comparison though still happy with Hogan especially the price point. and as an added bonus I have been having fun detailing them out etc. so it's kind of a win, win situation in those regards.
