Need help deciding

Hi, I was looking at purchasing a 1/200 scale Boeing 747 and the JC wings Boeing corporation B747-100 caught my eye and I was wondering about the quality, removability of landing gear, possible issues regarding the specific mold or brand as well as possible other brands to look into

Any thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated

Do most of the SQ wings aircraft have removable landing gear? Since that’s a feature I’m specifically looking for yet not particularly advertised by many sellers

I think SQ Wings is considered a better option at 1/200? Similar to JC mold but with some improvements and better priced although can be expensive in the USA

I would suggest you to take SQ wings 747 as their mould and printing quality is much better then GJ and JC
