Revell 1/144 Space operations kit with orbiter.

[jspitza]

Hello all!
Although I don't really come around here too often, did you really think I'd skip posting at least one model for 2017?
This is from the Revel 1/144 Shuttle with the Space operations station kit. The orbiter needs some flat, a little more wash and weathering and possibly a small bit of a payload but thats it. Then, onto the station and to my shelf!
Take care, Jeff

Excellent Job Jeff, which kit is this?

I had one of these from a charity shop for £3, and gave it to my granddaughter, but rather wish I hadn't now!
Must find out if she's built it yet.

I fear the space station will become very difficult as most of my panels are warped.......We shall see.

They seem readily available but right now, the space station is very difficult due to warping. I'll make sure to post pics.

Thank you Tony! I was really unsure as to how weathering occurs in a vacuum. These things did come back from orbit filthy.

If it's the Solar Array panels that are warped would a hot bath of water to soften them and then place them under a flat weight help?
