Greenghost Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Hello guys, i'm about to start my 1/144 Airfix Shuttle and wondering if is there any improving set other than tile decals and engine bells? Is there any kit of the launch pad in this scale? Thank you in advance for your help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spaceman Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hi Greenghost, and Welcome here in ARC, which is a good choise. For the Launch Pad there is only the old and legendary Revell Kit 04911, which I use for my project, together with the Detail Kits by LVM Studios. You can read everything about it, starting on the first page of my Thread, all about the kits, as well as about the problems ... and Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K2Pete Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Here's a link to my build here on ARC of the Airfix 1/144 Shuttle, but with the Payload Bay open. http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?/topic/295606-airfix-1144-shuttle-orbiter/ New Ware has some Exterior Detail sets and Hotdog, a modeller in this forum, has a nice set of decals. And RealSpace Models has an Engine Bell set too. http://www.realspacemodels.com/shop-galapagos/?category=1%2F144+Converson Be sure, now don't be shy, about posting your WIP here ...

Hotdog Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Don't forget the New Ware detail set. It's made for the Revell shuttle kit, but most of the parts should work on the Airfix. http://mek.kosmo.cz/newware/nw131.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
