Gimme Shelter Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hi Tolga Its great to see this kit still lives on. I see them on ebay for stupid money these days but it was the first of its kind back in the day. I bought it the very first week it was released in the UK (A long time ago in a Galaxy far far away) from a very specialist model shop (now gone) in Teddington who always got their hands on the Star Wars kits the moment the were released. This kit was the first in the long line of ISD kits to follow, and at the time, it was the only accurate representation of the vessel on any market - the Kenner die cast probably being the only near representation of an ISD beforehand. I can still remember just how precious even the model box artwork was at the time due to the lack of the internet and easy access reference to what an ISD looked like - Good luck with your build - I look forward to following it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I bought it about a year ago, it seems to be as detailed as its competence. But i think i will be facing some big gap and fitting problems let see what will be happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolga Uzuner Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 i started with engine section glued some parts after that i started side walls. Oh men they are realy incompatible need a lot of sanding and filling etc. as you can see there is a huge gap... trying to fix... not bad but its tiring:) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga Uzuner Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 I tried to use first time epoxy putty. It was a little sticky but i like it after the putty dried i sanded it. the result was satisfying. After that i started the other parts, i'm working with tamiya white putty. ü let see what will be happen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
