Simon's Mandalorian Razor Crest, Revell 1/72

[simontie]

well at long last made it to the model room …
1st of, the engine parts with the holes drilled and the fins cut down, drilling the slotted holes was tricky but not hard cleaded up with a scalpel then i cut down the outter fins using a razor saw and scribed the inner side with a scalpel & broke them off again cleaned up the ragged edges lastly i drilled the centre hole. Before and after picture below there is an ailinment notch but its not really required.
i have now put the inner cabin in the hull along with the doors these all fitted and work well with very little fettling or cleaning

then i noticed its really dark in the cargo bay and all that detail is lost in the gloom so i popped a couple of holes in the ceiling and light it up

luckily therebis loads of room for the wiring so i decided to add the battery pack to this area as well and i will add a switch to the rear cargo door area once it arrives.
so after this i tested all the bulbs and my ruff wiring lay out and .. bugger me it all worked

Ok top of the craft i have primed no pictures yet but i will press on over the weekend see where i get looks like rain so no garden duties or bike riding

That looks good, and yeah, if you’re adding lights anyway, you might as well stick some more in to illuminate dark areas

I take it the battery pack will be accessible so you can change them when they run out?

Put in 3 x 2032’s cell battery‘s, the ones in my shack have lasted about 3 years, but once these run down it will be game over, not they will be used much short sighted i know but they draw little power so whats to loose !,,

latest I have masked up the windows and primed the fuselage along with the trusters and landing gear, hope to respray Sunday with black primer and then silver topcoat.

[simontie]

As promised she is now black … been awhile since i airbrushed this big a kit but turnded out quite well still in the booth and left to drying out over night
so im off to watch the bsb moto gp racing was great if anyone managed to catch it ..

''This is the way''...

looking gorgeous, that silver coat is spot on... I wouldn't fret too much over the weathering as the razor crest was pretty beat up...
