Nigel Heath Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I just finished this, build thread here. It's a kit I've had for nearly 30 years and it's nice to get it done. It was quite toy like and I've done my best to enhance it and make it more like the "real thing". The rocket nozzles were moulded in polythene and horrible to work on so I cast new ones in resin, I scratch built the landing feet, added the rollers and I also opened up and glazed the windows: I hope you like it. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
