EnsignExpendablFollowing. I built one of these (from the set with three ships in it) a very long time ago.

Donald Dickson IIA kit I once had and never got around to building. Interested in seeing how it comes out.

Ben MI built the kit with 3 when I was a kid. I remember being happy how the romulan decal came out on mine. Hope you have fun with it too!

TorstenNext step, gap filling, my first contact with Perfect Plasty Putty. I really like it 😎

John HughesHad one of these years ago. If I ever do it again, I'd be very tempted to light it.

John HughesCorrection to above post: Now I have one of these again, I'm very tempted to light it. (Just grabbed one from Timeless Hobbies for £19.95)

Torsten@John: I look forward to your project and thanks for the like and the tip for the glider

Robin (WhiteGlint)Super smooth surface. Always interesting to see some vintage kits popping up. 👍

John HughesI'm not a fan of the new style stand as it required punching a hole in the bird decal. At least the old style stand is still included. It might have been a better idea to redo the old one in transparent plastic.

Starbase101The workspace is too clean, need to jettison more debris. Yes, including the centurion's body.

I have some 1/72 scale aircrew from Hasegawa that I will add to the base diorama - but that is after I recover from the ...

CaptGPFTo light up the engines, you will need to drill out the square areas around the exhaust.

CaptGPFHi Michael! I bought the LEDs from Amazon and strung them together on my own. I used a total of 6 parallel circuits with each one drawing about 9V.
I used a rechargeable 9V from Amazon - EBL USB Rechargeable 9V Lithium Batteries - 5400mWh Long Lasting LI-ion Batteries with Micro Charging Cable - and ran a Micro-USB extender to the top of the cargo bay so I can seal the kit, and recharge it later. Having put in close to 40 hours on this kit, I wanted the lighting to last. 😜

CaptGPFThanks Harald, Nark Robin and DerMattes. The oil weathering just dried and I'm closing it up with the final clear coat. Will post the final shots when I can handle it again without leaving and fingerprints! 😜

Gareth LloydLooking really good Capt. 🫡. I had exactly the same issues with the landing gear.... the 'strut' just didn't want to glue and ended up snapping, I pushed a pin up through it to try and strengthen it but it's still really wonky. Tempted to have a go at the AMT kit to see if that's any better?

Gary KitchenLovely stuff. The innards look fantastic with the black basing. Loving the mix of alloys to the exterior and the heat wear on re entry is inspired and something I completely missed that on mine.

Giannis KaltapanidisAlthough not a fan of Sci-Fi, I have to admire your metallics! Great job!
18 April, 10:48
CaptGPFThanks everyone! I learned a LOT from everyone posting their builds on these forums - so I'll be passing the credits to everyone.
@Gareth - from what I can see, the AMT looks lacking on the interior details, but the engines are made to be lit up in flight mode. Didn't see a build with the landing struts.
@Gary - the idea of the re-entry staining came to me when I just happened to see the burnt metallic paint on the rack! I wouldn't have thought of it otherwise. 🤔
@Finn - thank you! But I have a long ways to go to your mad diorama skills!
@Giannis - I had some challenges with the metallics - the Xtreme Titanium looked too "Plastic" to me, so I had to apply a thinned down Polished aluminum to make it shine better.
One thing I forgot to mention is the need to sand down the engine nacelles - some spots were really rough / pebbly - so sanding it down prior to laying down the metallics will save you pain and suffering later 😀

CaptGPFStick a fork in it, this one's done. I'll update this later when I get around to building a base for it with some figures. This was a decent kit, but with a little more thought and effort, Revell could have made this a really cracking kit. I would definitely recommend this kit, but you will need a lot of patience when tackling the landing gears and ramps - on top of the numerous kit defects, but hey, if I can build it, anyone can! 😀

Miguel VaqueroThis is a work of art!! Beautifully built. Really enjoyed the way you explained it
20 April, 19:54
Markus HelmersHow did I miss this one? Gorgeous work, makes me want to build another! Probably going to do the n1 first, though.
22 April, 13:09
Michael RazzWOW Amazing show u have here and that for a revell model!Did you contact the company of Revell that you have one of a kind?
26 April, 17:41
CaptGPFLOL! Thanks Razzie, but I don't think they will appreciate my various Boeing QA failure references! 😜
27 April, 02:28
CaptGPFThanks John's, Robin and Rob (esp the This is the Way!)
I had to ruin a nice F-104 to figure out how to do the metallics just right! 😜

Baptiste SouillartC'est un tout autre level, bravo ! Le rendu est impressionnant ! Tu as bricolé des Kits Led ou ce sont des solutions clés en main ?
28 July, 11:09
CaptGPFMerci beaucoup Baptist! I just bought the LEDs from Amazon and strung them together. I used a rechargeable 9V battery from Amazon - amazon.com/EBL-USB-R..teries/dp/B086GTFGPP - This way, I can recharge the battery as needed.
Thank you for your kind words, Torsten! I love your interesting choices in Sci-Fi builds 😀
