Revell 1/144 Launch Tower and Shuttle (04911); Long term review....it IS big !

Shuttle and the boosters finished :yipee
Really pleased with this , the Shuttle itself is probably the weakest area of the whole package due to it needing a bit of filler here and there and there again but once its painted up and the superb decals adding it turns out very splendidly indeed :grin:

NOTE....I have used parts 174/175/176/177 and added them to the launch pad for the "support" , these are not shown on the instructions but are present in the box and are true representations of the actual items on the real launch pad.
Why Revell would have you use the other support arms which are not accurate or present on the pad when the "real" items are in the kit is a bit of a mystery.

Just the Launch tower to do now....

I am truly impressed with your work so far and can't wait to see the finished model.

When finished I would stick it in the garden and grow a Clematis around it.

Added a few sub assemblies to the Launch Tower.
My method for building this Tower is to build each sub assembly , paint , attach and then touch up the paintwork.
It is a complex build and does require some forward thinking.....something Im not too good at sometimes ! :laugh:
There is still a lot more to be added .

Thanks for looking in .....it will be a long term build so thanks for your patience :cool:
