FAQs
What age is this model kit recommended for?
This model kit is generally recommended for ages 10 and up due to small parts and the need for careful handling. Adult supervision is advised for younger builders.
Do I need to buy extra supplies?
The set includes basic paints, glue, and a paintbrush, so you can start building right away. However, advanced modelers may wish to purchase additional specialized paints, brushes, or tools for a more detailed finish.
How long does it take to build?
Assembly time can vary greatly depending on skill level and drying times for glue and paint. A beginner might take several days, while an experienced modeler could complete the basic assembly and painting in a weekend.
What kind of paint is included?
The set includes basic water-based paints suitable for plastic models. These are typically acrylics that are easy to clean up.
Can I paint the model in different colors?
Yes, you can paint the model in any colors you choose. The included decals are for the Turkish Airlines livery, but the model itself can be customized with different paint schemes.
Is this a flying model?
No, this is a static display model kit and is not designed to fly.
Where can I find replacement decals if I make a mistake?
Replacement decals are not typically provided by the manufacturer. You may be able to find aftermarket decal sheets for the Boeing 737-800, or contact Revell customer support for specific inquiries.
Troubleshooting
Parts don't fit together smoothly.
Ensure all parts are clean and free of excess plastic sprue. Gently trim or sand any rough edges if necessary, following the instruction manual.
Decals are not adhering or tearing.
Ensure the model surface is smooth and clean. Use decal setting solutions for better adhesion. Apply decals to a gloss surface for easier positioning. If tearing, use small pieces and apply carefully.
Paint coverage is uneven.
Apply thin, even coats of paint rather than one thick coat. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next. For better results, consider using model-specific acrylic or enamel paints.
Glue is visible on seams.
Use glue sparingly. If excess glue appears, wipe it away immediately with a cloth or cotton swab dipped in appropriate thinner (e.g., water for water-based glue, specific solvent for plastic cement). Allow it to dry before proceeding.
