Pin Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 It's not (yet) abandoned! Fire extinguishers are moulded in pairs on two "C" sprues, I lost one pair, so I had to scratch build one Of course, missing parts were found just after the new part was compete! Front right wheel was a bit misaligned, as I glued it with superglue I tried to use debonder to correct this and ..... the disaster happened! The debonder reacted fiercely with the paint. I had to cut away the whole assembly irreparably breaking it during the process Pure alcohol bath to strip spoiled paint Fortunately Zvezda provides two sets of suspension stuff - loaded and unloaded, I did some surgery to convert unloaded spare - shortened cylinders and changed angles of levers and rockers (almost) as good as new 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 That looks like an impressive kit well modeled. It reminds me of something similar in a James Bond movie (I think) but hanged if I can remember or find by searching, which one. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pin Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 James who? Never heard this name. This is a very good kit indeed, the main drawback are absolutely empty cabins. The reason being, as I understand, that despite a great deal of publicly available pics the interiour is still officially classified.h This where CrossHair comes to the resque - well detailed and cast resin set evidently 3D mastered and printed.
