LorenSharp Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Originally I ment to enter this into the Baby Boomers GB earlier in the year But managed to lose almost all my images including the set showing everything on their trees. So I set this aside finished other projects and worked on this here and there in between. It is a rather simple kit A LOT of raided detail. It is strictly OOB with the only addition some white vinyl tape to replace some of the striping that shattered. PAint was MIg-Ammo, TAmiya LAcquer, Alclad II, Ak Interactive. Enjoy! 22 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billn53 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Very cool! I was in Huntsville, Alabama a couple weeks ago and attended their annual model show. Afterward, I visited the Veteran’s museum nearby, where a Regulus II cruise missile is being restored. One thing led to another, and now I have an old Revell Regulus II kit to build 🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred piket Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 The end result is really beautiful. I like what you've done with the transport and launching platform. Well done sir! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll end up probably having to print a new one and if I can find enough images do the launcher as well. BUt that is a project for well into the future, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUt that is a project for well into the future, Revell’s Regulus has landing gear, like the developmental test airframes. I’d love to have a launcher instead, but no joy so far on finding images.

LorenSharp Posted September 5 Author Share Posted September 5 They did do a kit with the launcher early on waaaaay back in the late fifties. Ihave images of the instructions somewhere on one of the drives on my computer. But they were incomplete. https://www.angelfire.com/realm3/roynagl/regulus.htm Here's a small picture of the launcher. Here's the Aurora Kit https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/aurora-regulus-ii-guided-missile-435123487 Of course you won't get that kit at this price these days. This was from an auction last year. It went for just north of $1100. I could probably get by with what I got but more would be better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billn53 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Huntsville, Alabama Veteran’s Museum. I was first there about 10-years ago, and the Regulus was in bad shape, rusting all over. I thought it would make a good “distressed” model. So, when I was back in Huntsville a couple weeks ago, I swung by to take some photos. That’s when I discovered the museum has been restoring it. Still a lot of work to do, but it’s looking much nicer than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
