DutyCat Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Saw this in the current FSM as a new release. Is it new tool or a repop of the Minicraft kit? I figure it is unlikely to be a Revell, Mono, or Airfix mold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crowe-t Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It appears to be an all new mold. The overall shape looks to be dead on to an actual shuttle. Mounted on an Airfix ET/SRB's and it'll be a great stack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 From what I've heard shape-wise it's supposed to be pretty good with the biggest downfall I've heard about is the hatch is engraved on both sides of the fuse and some of the surface detail is a little overdone. It's also I believe a cut-away kit with a lot of clear plastic parts (like the 1/72 4D shuttle kit) Some people are saying that's a deal breaker for them but I'd think that's all fixable. I'm hoping to catch a good review and/or build of it before I decide to get it or not. The 747 SCA looks like it might be a good item to get as well. Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
