    Andy's Revell Topol, 1/72

    Here's my completed entry for Lee's rocket & missile GB

    Thanks for having me Lee, and thanks to all those that followed the build.

    This model is from a Revell rebox of a Zvezda kit. It contains over 300 parts, but many are replicated is it can be assembled in either transport and launch modes.

    I did type a lot more originally but had so much trouble trying to insert images that I've forgotten what I typed on the first two attempts. It seems you can't delete an incorrect image once you've added it, or even move it around the post, you must start again. And as we all know, the preview system doesn't work, so here are the few I could be bothered to upload again. I hope you like them:

    And since it's a rocket & missile theme I hope you'll allow a picture with the Pantsir, still in its winter frock, giving some defensive support:

    That is great Andy. Very colourful, striking model. A fine subject for the GB

    I've noticed that. You have to be careful and plan for included photos.

      The most annoying thing for me, on the mobile site anyway, is that I'll place my cursor where I want the picture, but when I insert, it's suddenly amidst a block of text, like a badly formatted Word document. I can't delete or move it, all I can do is remove the upload completely and start again, hoping it goes where I want this time.

      Sorry, I'm grumpy and needed a rant ?

        Just read all through the build posts before coming across to this one. Another fine piece of work Andy especially in this scale, although I guess it would be ginormous in 1/35.
