1/200 Hasegawa VC-25A - scale model of the presidential Boeing 747

The Hasegawa 1/200 VC-25A kit models the Air Force One configuration of the Boeing 747-200B, offering accurate exterior shapes and surface detail. This release suits collectors and modellers seeking a realistic interpretation of the presidential aircraft at a compact scale.

Design relevance and fidelity

As a conversion of the 747-200B, the VC-25A includes modifications that set it apart from standard airliners. Hasegawa's tooling reflects those external differences, enabling builders to present a convincing miniature of this high-profile transport.

Tips for a clean assembly

Careful handling of fine components and methodical painting will improve results. Use thin coats of paint, neat masking for the livery, and test-fit parts before gluing to ensure correct alignment and smooth joins.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/200

The kit decals are designed for the model and should fit if applied carefully. Use decal setting solution and allow adequate drying time to conform to panel lines.
Yes, modellers often add fine wire or aftermarket aerials to enhance realism. Check reference images for correct placement before modifying the model.
Painting is recommended to achieve the authentic look. While the parts show shape unpainted, accurate colours and shading greatly improve the finished appearance.
Reference photos, official colour guides and historical publications on the VC-25A are useful. Online archives and aviation books provide detailed images for correct markings and weathering.
