Mach 2 lift off series 1/48 satellite launchers/icbm,s


Recommended Posts

Hi,showing you these,before i move them to the spare room,nice subjects,but the kits were very ill fitting and thin,would have been better in resin,with hindsight i would have done them differently ie strengthening seams etc,another fault was the decals,with being so old,some just disintergrated in the water,slightly better with overcoats of decalfix,but not much,so ended up using black tape,so i will be able to redo them when i get the gear for printing my decals.anyway here they are,i like them......

hi norm,yes its three airfix kits,though you do get all three payloads with each kit,so if you get three you will have a few spare,and you get a cosmonaut for scale,nice little kits...Don
