Vert nice result, congrats!

Agustin Prellezo
Hi, Cristian, I had problems with the varnish, the result if you see it closely is not so good. Thanks!

Cristian A
Looks great to me Augustin. I have recently purchased the kit and I'm thinking how to make that digital cammo. Any tips?

Agustin Prellezo
With the plastic mask is not difficult. I made some mistakes, and these masks can be used several times if required.

Cristian A
Thank you Augustin, will add them to my wishlist.

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

Michael .
Are you using a purchased lighting kit, or developing one of your own?

CaptGPF
Hi 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. 😜

Harald Besold
Great painting and many nice details.

Mark de Boer
Looking awesome, great work.

DerMattes
Looks good, watching 👍 🙂

CaptGPF
Thanks 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 Lloyd
Looking 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 Kitchen
Lovely 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.

Finn
Cool!

Giannis Kaltapanidis
Although not a fan of Sci-Fi, I have to admire your metallics! Great job!

CaptGPF
Thanks 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 😀

CaptGPF
Stick 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 Vaquero
This is a work of art!! Beautifully built. Really enjoyed the way you explained it

CaptGPF
Thanks Miguel! I love the detailing you are putting into your A350 too!

Dash Rendar
Very, very nice job! Well done!

Markus Helmers
How did I miss this one? Gorgeous work, makes me want to build another! Probably going to do the n1 first, though.

CaptGPF
Thanks Dash!

Markus, can't wait to see your new Mandalorian build!

Michael Razz
WOW 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?

CaptGPF
LOL! Thanks Razzie, but I don't think they will appreciate my various Boeing QA failure references! 😜

Johne 69
Well done 👍

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Very nice work mate 👍
The lighted engines and interior look so good.

Rob
What a Beauty. Impressive metal painting. This is the way!

CaptGPF
Thanks 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! 😜

Shar Dipree
Very nice! 👍 👍 👍

Tini Hendriks
Outstanding! Nice work with the metals💪🏼

CaptGPF
Thank you Shar! Thanks Tini!

Rui S
Excellent work indeed 👍

CaptGPF
Thanks Rui!

Baptiste Souillart
C'est un tout autre level, bravo ! Le rendu est impressionnant ! Tu as bricolé des Kits Led ou ce sont des solutions clés en main ?

Kees Borgers
Watching.

Jan Peters
Me too 👀

Mike Kryza
I'll take a seat.

Doubtingmango
Wry interested in this kit and your build
