Hello! Yesterday I decided to pop open a Hasegawa 1/200 767-200 Demonstrator kit I’ve had in the stash for a bit. Everything is going together very nicely. It has the new tool fuselage and original tool wings and engines, P&W. I’ve sanded down the panel lines on the wings and engines and used only a minor amount of black CA glue as filler on the fuselage seam. So far, a very enjoyable kit.
A few questions for you all, I haven’t delved into this stuff yet, are the little vents or whatever they are on either side of the APU for the KC-46 version of the kit? I assume they should be removed for an airline version?
Whilst the Demonstrator is a fine livery and the decals look very nice, what are some other appropriate airline and livery options for the Pratt & Whitney engines? I’m not very good yet at identifying the differences between those and the GE, which, seem to be most of them and the P&W were mostly on the early ones? Or something like that?
Anyway, I usually do 1/144 kits, but just a few hours on this and I’m ready to hunt down the whole 1/200 Hasegawa catalog haha. Thanks!!

https://www.youtube.com/@starchwreck1017Looking at the sprues online, I would say that the fuselage is from the tanker version, and yes, those bumps near the tail cone need to be removed, along with a few of the extra antennas. Check your references.
The engines in the kit are Hasegawa’s version of the P&W engines; not really accurate, but different from the GE engines in most of their 767 kits. The only other kit I’ve personally seen these in is the old JAL 767-200 kit. Braz models made some P&W replacements, but I don’t know if they are still available.
Off the top of my head, I can say that JAL, United, and Ethiopian used P&W engines on their 767-200s.
Hope this helps.

The updated 767-200 kit is superb. No windows and recessed panel lines is a huge bonus not seen on the majority of Hasegawa airliners from the first generation releases.
Built mine in Ethiopian colors using PW’s. Didn’t remove the KC767 parts, oops, lol.
