9/13/05 - Assembly was straightforward and clean, with little puttying and filing needed. Detail is good, in some areas excellent, lacking mainly in the engine exhausts and in the edge greeblies. There's a notable error in port/stbd bay doors (see below).
The kit also includes paints, though the gray included seems the wrong shade when compared to the box photo. Light gull grey seems a closer match instead.
View assembled and primed model - which all happened before I noticed that bay door problem.
Kit error:
 The P/S bay doors should be angled outward so they are parallel to the centerline of the ship. |
 On the model kit, they are parallel to the hull border. |
3/11/07 - Made a RTV mold & resin copy of the bay doors - the first step toward creating corrected parts for those:
RTV mold and original |
 RTV mold and castings |
 Original piece and casting |
11/19/07 - That mold's gonna eventually need a backside...
