Cool forced-perspective photo!

Thx. The backdrop is Hangar #1 at CFB Comox on Vancouver Island.

Mark de Boer
Looking awesome. Realy nice.

Andrzej Rygiel
Lovely, it's nice to see something from one of my favorite TV series - have my upvote 🙂

Spanjaard
cool!!!! I did not even know there was a kit for it, very nicely done!

Dave Burgess
Spanjaard, between Black Sun Models, and Fantastic Plastic, in addition to the ones already built, I have a number of interesting kits: the Wormhole Exploration Module from Farscape; The Milano from Guardians of the Galaxy; the SHEILD Quinjet from The Avengers; the AT-99 and SA-2 gunships from Avatar; the Rocinante, Razorback, and Epstein Yacht from The Expanse; Starbug from Red Dwarf. The Whitestar, Omega Advanced Destroyer, Shadow Vessel, and Minbari Cruiser from Babylon 5. All-in-all a pretty eclectic assortment!

I'm following this to learn

Martin Oostrom
Another tutorial one needs to watch

Gerald Sigmund
@mks: Komakais Walkaround shows meshes for the left and right intakes and none for the center one.

Bozzer
I have no idea of your subject, but I do enjoy your builds. The tutorial is always a lesson, and very informative. Keep them coming 👍

When you thin parts, what technique do you use?

MS K
@Ben M - When I need to shave a lot, like this time, I use file.

Michael Kohl
Martin and Bozzer pointed it out. This will be fun and informative to follow.

Matteo Pescarin
Oh wow, as usual, fantastic documentation of the efforts going into this project. Chapeau to you!
Nonetheless, it makes me want to skip any Revell kit from now on... if I only didn't have any in my stash XD

MS K
@Matteo - The new mold products produced since around 2010 are generally nice quality(2CV, VW T1, 911G, Etc...) , but this product is so poorly made that it is ridiculous. I don't know what the production concept of this kit is. It is poor for a precision model, and it's not even easy to assemble.

Michael Kohl
With Revell you better check in advance how that specific kit is rated by others. They have tons of reboxes and quite a few kits where you just wanna ask: are you serious? But then, once in a while, just to show that they are able - in general - to be a serious modelling company, they release some really fine stuff. Doesn't hurt to be prepared what you're up against.

A true Revell car kit experience 👍 The casted on wiper is especially painful

Michael Kohl
That diffusor is a tremendous improvement.

Such a tool makes such work as fitting the diffusor panels to the chassis much easier (the thinner the needles/pins, the more precise the contour).
Just a german site to give an idea.
Cheers Michael

MS K
Nice idea. I wish there was something made of insect pins thin enough to use in a plamodel.

Johne 69
Great work so far 👍

berni
A question. What Colours you would use at this kit?

MS K
@berni - The red is Italian Red, and I plan to use Cobalt Blue + Sky Blue (the instructions say to mix Ultramarine and Blue).

Denis Dogadov
I make up the silkscreen on the glass with a very thinly sliced masking tape.

MS K
@Denis - Yeah, I used to do it that way too, before I started using masking film.
My advice is that when masking that way, 'Tamiya masking tape for curves' is much easier than paper tape.
