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 🤩

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 😀👍👍

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 👍
