This is the 1/40-scale Atlantis Nike Hercules kit, the re-release of the ancient Revell 1957 molds. The kit includes the missile and a fairly detailed, movable launcher assembly. The molds had several divots and sink holes, many ejector pin marks, and abundant flash. So be prepared to do some surface and edge prep. Light weathering with gray enamel wash and weathering pencil on the missile to bring out surface details like rivets. The launcher got a more thorough treatment, though I didn't go nuts: liberal black enamel wash, some dry brushing for highlights and oils to simulate sun fading, light rust, and grease in places. Finished missile is about a foot long and displays well with the launcher. Decals held up to setting solutions (Micro Sol) despite the instructions explicitly telling you *NOT* to do this. Thanks for having a look!

Just got back from 2 week holiday to Florida, the highlight for me was the Kennedy Space Center. A new part of the center was opened in July which was the Shuttle Atlantis. All I can say is that it was amazing. Wish I took more photo's to be honest but here are the best ones from the day, anyone building the Revell or Airfix kit these might help. The lighting was not the best so I hope you all enjoy these. More to follow of the Saturn rocket. Dan
