Spiny Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Very nicely done, particularly if it is that bad to build. Out of interest, do you know if it's the same one as the Revell kit I keep seeing for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danntheman Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 The Revell kit it a rebox of this,the only difference I know is that Revell supply decals for the dash instruments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am working on Revell's kit. It is the Heller's one: you are right, Revell includes the decals for instruments...quite nice actually. My first impression about this kit is that it needs some extra scratchbuild, but oob assembly can have reasonable results as you show us. The plastic does not receive the pigment very easy and sometimes the green plastic come out. I preferred to fix the pigments with clear varnishes to avoid any accident.

wimbledon99 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Looks lovely. I've had one in the cupboard for some time now and plan to build it for the upcoming Heller GB. What made it a dog; any tips?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
