I just received my AVIS 1: 72 Optica kit from the Ukraine: ... Thanks! I have the Avis kit on backorder from Hannants. Thanks for the glimpse of what's in the box. From the sheer number of transparent parts, it looks like it's possible to build the model with at least one door open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That had a cool paint job I recall as well. My mates dad was the designer of the aircraft! He still has the fairing between the wing and cockpit painted in the movie colours in his garage. Thanks. Yes, I'd love to build a Shadow, too. The solar panels and weird Buddhist(?) art might be a challenge, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Hamiltonian, I made a better and detailed preview for you😉: As you see, you could make it with doors open but you would have to cut the door loose from the transparent side parts... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I'd have had a lot less messing around with plastic card, brass wire and scribing tools if I'd waited for the Avis model! I see I was mistaking the separate roof panel for a side door in your initial picture. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are things about the decals I designed that I don't like. But you're very welcome to have (and modify as you like) the decal images I built for myself. They're at the end of this link--it's a zip file containing a single .png image with a transparency channel, at 600dpi. That's marvellous of you, thank you very much, I shall look forward to tackling this project over Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangseat Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Cracking build, and what a scheme! The poor Edgely Optica, factory burned down, and it landed a rubbish movie deal! It should have been in a Bond film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vile Traveller Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Beautiful rendition of this version. A greatly under-appreciated film, I always thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
