I'm looking forward to this. I just started a stack with the Endeavor in 1/72 and im about 50 percent through with Atlantis in 1/72 Revell. I'm going to do Challenger in the 1/100 Tamiya kit, buying it tonight. I will be watching yours for tips on the stack. I never even thought of starting with just the bottom seam when I did Challenger. I feel like that could take alot of issues away that I had there. My Endeavor engine area is VERY warped though.

I think mi just going to go with the decals for this one. I think I'll save that for the last one. I need to get my builds better first before I try to tackle that.

I dont want to build any more shuttles now. Thanks lol

That's what I was trying to figure out was if she had th le blankets all along. I read about all of the different styles of thermal protection but it didn't say when the later Shuttles started using them. It only said when Columbia started using them. Thank you much!

Soooo, When using the lake county spaceport late era AFRSI decals, if you're going to do the medical tape method do you put the tape first or the decals first?. Or do you just use the decals as a template for where to put the tape? I've been looking for early pictures of Atlantis with its earliest tile setup. I cant find any good pictures. So im not sure if it had that style blanket ir just tiles. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Wow, that's awesome. Maybe by the time I get the last of the 6 orbiters built I'll be half as good as that!!!!

Nice!

Thats beautiful sir. I tried to make the windows on my Challenger smaller Using the Realspace decals window decals as a guide. Then putty and sanding over the windows. As you can see in my pictures earlier in the thread I wasnt very successful with it. The Monogram windows are just too big. I got the window set from Lake County Spaceport to try on my next monogram kit.

I would do another 1/72, but all of my 1/72 kits are committed to the other shuttles. So I think I will do the Tamiya kit

Any movement on a group build? I wouldn't mind doing Challenger again. Maybe another 1/72? Or, i have never built the Tamiya kit so that might be a good one. Thoughts?

Thanks, it was a beast, but Im already working on another one. Im doing all 6 orbiters in 1/72 with one of them on the full stack. So hopefully each one is better than the one before it.

I dont want to start a thread on it. It came out sloppy lol

Oh man, I just finished a 1/72 Challenger with the Lake county spaceport decals. Only the second model i have built in the last 8 years.

Hi, im looking for spare parts for the 1/72 Revell space shuttle, specifically the rudder. Hopefully someone has a junk kit. Thanks.

Thanks. That seems to be the case. I have used solvaset for years, but its been a been awhile since I have used it on aftermarket decals. It got alot better after a couple of days. The one that is messed up the most is probably from me messing with it too much. The company is great though, there are alot of extra decals in the set and general tile decals that you can use as patches.
