Starting stronger since the A350 catastrophe. Cockpit sub assembled with the Eduard Detail set, painted and weathered. Couldnt take more pictures of the progress due to the details being so small 🥴🥴

Michael Kohl
Nice cockpit

Thomas Kolb
My goodness, that cockpit looks stunning! Are you sure it's not 48 scale?

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks Michael!

I could have hoped Thomas😅😅. It would have made my life way easier. Though the PE details helped a lot

CaptGPF
Agree with everyone - the cockpit looks great! Chipping at this scale is impressive

Nicolas
Nice progress so far.

Miguel Vaquero
Thanks guys, waiting to get free from work this week to star painting the fuselage and engine. Let's see how that turns out

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Miguel Vaquero
Engine almost done, except for the PE parts. I'm amazed of how it's all turning out tbh, didn't expect this great finish on such small parts

Mr D
Looking good 👍 the instrument's look good, did you get the clocks to sink in with softener ??
I have this one to build next after my lAR-80.
Thanks for uploading 😁👍

Miguel Vaquero
Hey MrD thanks! Well Im sorry I can't help you with that because I used the photo etched and plastic instrumentation provided by the kit from Eduard. Sure someone with more experience with Tamiya decals can help you with that in here.

Looking forward to see how yours turns out!

Mr D
Thanks 👍👍
May look into the PE kit.
Belts come out nice, do you glue PE direct to plastic or do you have to prep first ?
Coming on nicely 👌

Watching! Love the water bottle and even more smokes!

Christian
Thank you! The water bottle is from a Black Dog kit. I'm going to build one or two Ammo can's an add a M16 and a M60 as well. There will be two M134's for the doorgunner positions and two rocket pods as well.

Sergej I
Would prefer an M60 at the door, but minigun is also legit 👍 🙂
Great stuff, thanks for sharing, looking forward for more.

Christian
🙏 thank you so much Sergej!

Neil
Shaping up very nicely indeed. Will follow build 👍

Christian
Thank you Neil, I really appreciate that 💪

Dariusz Swiderski
Love the details! Already looking like an awesome build.

Christian
Thank you Dariusz, but there is absolute no progress since January 🥵
We're too busy by completing our new home.
But I can't wait to get back to modeling 🤩

Mr D
Hi Christian, looking good, bit more room for detail with a helicopter,
I just purchased the Zvezda mi-8 in 1:72.
I want to do a Chernobyl diorama in the winter, with Mi-8 dropping sand and boron on the damaged reactor.. they sell little 3d printed Chernobyl power stations on eBay.
Do you prepare the surface before gluing on PE ? Or just S-glue direct to plastic.?
Thanks for uploading... nice project 😀👍👍

Stéphane Jayet
This kit is simply a pure nightmare because of the extremyly low quality of it, and I decided to more or less give up. I will finish it out of the box without trying to correct the issues.

Spanjaard
is it that bad?

Starbase101
Yes, all the Revell 1:144 shuttle kits have poor fit and inaccuracies.

Stéphane Jayet
oh, yes, nothing is fitting well, the sprues themselves are not well molded, etc. the worst kit I saw so far from Revell.

Starbase101
Nope, worst shuttle kit from Revell is the Launch Tower set. Multiple different scales in the box - shuttle stack is 1:144, MLP is ~1:200, RSS is ~1:168, first level of FSS is ~1:205, second level of FSS is ~1:160, remaining levels of FSS are ~1:168. At least each of the standalone shuttle kits have one scale inside the box. The Launch Tower kit is a disaster.

Spanjaard
Great, I got a revell shuttle in my stash 😛

Stéphane Jayet
Good luck 😉

Adrian
Thank you for the warning, I was just abouz to this to my whishlist. I'ts a shame, cos I like that set very much, but having more problems than fun dos'nt make sense.
Anybody knows about the quality of the 1:72 version (shuttle only)?

Torsten
You do your best, 😎 work 👍
