Pete in Lincs Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Courtesy of @theplasticsurgeon Okay, so it looks very like a dismantled prebuilt 1/32nd P-38 Lightning. That's because it is. It will, however, eventually donate parts to another scratchbuilt Maschinen Kreiger Falke anti gravity fighter. Many thanks to Tim for the kit, I'm looking forward to the build. I also have these two wee jobbies, Possibly from the Airfix battle of Hoth set? Courtesy of @Alfisti. Many thanks to him too. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Monty Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I'm intrigued, what's going to happen to those poor defenceless 'jobbies' ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks to him too. I'm pretty sure they came in the MPC AT-AT kit, as I have a pair too, but never owned the Battle of Hoth kit. Yours appear to have been attacked by the scratch-building fairy in the rear though, and maybe had a parking issue that resulted in a bent blaster barrel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 @Uncle Monty & @Mike - The aforementioned jobbies are already painted and safely perched on my Star Wars wall display. As for the Scratchbuilding Fairy, They were missing the aftmost parts of the engines. So bits of rod got attached. And, to save you wondering. I spent the afternoon dismantling a second hand Stap with a view to building a spaceship. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i was looking for this kit a few years ago i could only get the Jango Fett Version (for a half way reasonable price, still expensive but not THAT expensive like the Boba Fett Version). Too sad that Finemolds never came out with a re-release of this beautiful kit.... Edited November 1, 2023 by Reelyator typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I've got the AMT/ERTL Slave one winging it's way to me sometime this week. It must be the season! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I've wanted a 2001 Aires-1 since it came out, and a couple of weeks ago I found one for a lot less than everyone else was offering it, so I pushed the button. I've been busy with the site and my second bout of Covid to open it up yet, but I'll probably get round to it this coming week. I've also re-tested myself and am no longer contagious, which is nice. Just in time for a dental appointment this week 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kallisti Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Its a great kit and now you can even get figures for it!

I am moding my kit a bit- getting an aftermarket hatch and adding running lights. I was going to get the new Paragrafix cockpit but it is just too expensive, just going to work with the stock one and correct it some. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocoolname Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Aztek Dummy paint masks and Paragrafix PE make the set complete for the Kronos One. I call this now complete package "no more excuses" as I have literally everything I need to build this if I can just muster the willpower and overcome the demons. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kronos One has a different bridge and warp nacelles from the regular K’Tinga, with the latter being lit up. It was also covered in gold structural work (labelled as golden battle adornments) which is represented by decals in the kit and to a finer degree by the PE set. I always liked the look of the K’Tinga since I first saw it in Star Trek The Motion Picture but it was Kronos One and it’s striking decor that made it the one I wanted to build.

Thinking if i should sell my (unstarted) K´Tinga Kit and get me the Kronos One.... The PE looks amazing and the option to light the Warp Engines is another argument for the Kronos One as well.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s actually what I did. I originally bought the K’Tinga and lighting kit with the intention of designing my own modifications to make it into Kronos One, not thinking that they would consider releasing such a version as an actual kit. But when they announced it I sold mine in anticipation of this. Between Star Trek, Star Wars and Space 1999, Round 2 have been fantastic at releasing the kits I want to build. If only they they could get the Babylon 5 license. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reelyator Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 @Nocoolname: You might know this already. There are some cool and highly detailed Fotos of the actual Studio Model of the Kronos One on www.modelermagic.com Maybe some good inspirations for your coming build. Looking forward to see you again in the WIP Section👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
