The wings are geared in pairs so that they can move in unison. Now i am getting jealous;-) May i ask for your opinion about the cockpit? Some reviews seem to inicate some room for improvement with the figures, the windows and the gear inside the cockpit. If this is the case then i would hope some of the aftermarkes specialists (Paragrafix, Green Strawberry etc.) jump on it. 1
David Hadland Posted July 5, 2024 Posted July 5, 2024 I got the AIP Thunderbirds 1/350 Fire Flash and the Polar Lights 1/2500 USS Shenzhou.

rockpopandchips Posted July 6, 2024 Posted July 6, 2024 Just picked this up from my now local shop Cosmic scale models, treated myselfas it was only £20. What a place just been drooling over the 1/6 scale drone from Oblivion, Keith has just finished. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/Jy1RsQfj8xGryDLs/ 1 1

If this is the case then i would hope some of the aftermarkes specialists (Paragrafix, Green Strawberry etc.) jump on it. The figures and cockpit seem to be fairly decent. The figures all look different from one another. Likewise, the cockpit details are good for 1/72 in my opinion. Cockpit floor: Seats. Console. Hope that helps. I'm sure there will be some AM sets coming out for the kit and of course 3D printed stuff will probably make it stand out even more. 2
rockpopandchips Posted July 7, 2024 Posted July 7, 2024 A bit odd I know but for all the kit bashing scratch building folks, I picked these up from B&M today. No idea what I will use them for but they looked to good to leave on the shelf....😀 4
David Hadland Posted July 8, 2024 Posted July 8, 2024 (edited) Just got my Aztec Decals for Enterprise and Reliant from the Wrath of Khan I got these from the US from the CultTVMan shop and it took 12 days to get here, which from what I've gathered is a good delivery time from the US.

David Hadland Posted July 18, 2024 Posted July 18, 2024 A Star Wars arrival today I think that the box is about 1/3 bigger than it should be for the parts that make up the kit Still should be a fun build. It is amusing that the name of the ship isn't used anywhere, it's like they don't want to have Slave 1 anywhere. 5

David Hadland Posted July 18, 2024 Posted July 18, 2024 It seems I have been a bit remiss in keeping up with what the postie has been bringing me so here is a few items These are the big 1/1000 kits I got with a 1/3200 Romulan Warbird The Reliant and Enterprise with the Grissom and klingon Bird of Prey and the 1/2500 kits 3
David Hadland Posted July 18, 2024 Posted July 18, 2024 And the non-Trek kits are 1/350 Thunderbird 2 with Thunderbird 4 1/57 Darth Vader's TIE Fighter 3

Captain Glumbo Posted July 18, 2024 Posted July 18, 2024 I need to dig out my slave kit and get the model no so at least you would know the lower end of the change to being politically correct (or woke as I think the new term is). There are pros and cons to any change like this, so let’s try and not let this descend into anything other than the original topic 1
David Hadland Posted July 19, 2024 Posted July 19, 2024 Back on topic The 1/1000 NX-01 Enterprise this will be the Refit model using the secondary hull And the Revell 1/72 Millennium Falcon 1
