Not a -200
This is a classic kit, however, it is not the -200 as the box indicates. Its the same mold as the first release of the Eastern 727-100 Whisper Jet kit. In order to make it the -200 a little surgery will be needed along with a sacrificial 727-100 kit that you will have to cut up to extend the -100 to make it a -200. Other than that, its a nice kit for its age.

Atlantis/Aurora Boeing 727 1/96 Scale Model Kit
First, while it is marketed as a 727-200, it is not. It is the same 727-100 kit originally issued by Aurora in the 1960s, and then by Monogram in the 70s. Secondly, it lacks the detail found in more modern model kits. The upside of this kit is that Boeing did fly a -100 with this livery, so by cutting off the "-200" on the decal, you can still use the decal. This is also a fairly easy kit to build as it is only comprised of 36 pieces, and it's an easy paint job. A young person could build this in a short period of time and get away without even painting it. I remember building this in the late 60s when I was about 10 years old, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
