Ricardo Salamé Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) http://www.ninfinger.org/models/pix/rspgemini1b.jpg http://www.ninfinger.org/models/pix/rspgemini2b.jpg http://www.ninfinger.org/models/html_pix/rspgemini.html Here you have a few pictures of my Gemini 1/72 from Dragon Models The interior of the cockpit was improved by adding the missing paneling and the missing cabin vent handles and the front mirrors. Oxygen hoses for the commander and the pilot were added. The ejection seat arm rests and the stirrups were fabricated with wire. The seat bells were done with Tamiya masking tape and pieces of plastic. The pilot door close mechanism was scratch build and the EVA bag was added to the umbilical. The cover thermal insulation of the Instrument unit was done with gold foil, matching the original thermal blanket install on the spacecraft. The rendezvous radar was corrected to match the GT 4 mission the configuration, the model has one that could be GT-7 or 9. The azimuthal antenna was added with a wire. The paint was done with a combination a Tamiya and model master colors. The re-entry capsules were painted with NATO black, gun metal and gloss black. The heat shield was painted with Tamiya gloss red. Maneuvering section and the instrument section ware painted with Tamiya white and the pre-shading done with AMMO Mig black wash. The thruster had a little weathering to represent the fuel oxidizer burns use to correct the orbit of the spacecraft. Edited April 27, 2018 by Ricardo Salamé Quote Link to post Share on other sites
