Sounds good.
I keep threatening to buy myself one, willpower is weakening.......this is the way........

Title: Re: Spaceship WIP
Post by: zemjw on 10 February 2022, 11:58:23 AM: Revell claims it's 1/72, which has put me off buying one, although Revell's "scales" are picked by a random number generator in a lot of cases :-[

How do 28mm figures look against it?

Thanks

This is more often true than is preferable :?

Post by: Blackwolf on 10 February 2022, 07:49:05 PM: It is pretty big, I did consider swapping the seats out for 1/48 ,however that would mean re-designing the cockpit,and in the end I decided it was too much work,the two side hatches are too low. It can be done,easily ,just requires a bit of kit bashing. It will look good alongside 28mm miniatures anyway :)

Post by: zemjw on 10 February 2022, 08:35:41 PM: Thanks. I still have Christmas voucher money left, so I'll see about picking it up

Post by: Blackwolf on 10 February 2022, 09:18:29 PM: They seem to go pretty quickly,I think a lot of scalpers are buying them up >:(. I had to order mine from the UK last November.
Title: Re: Spaceship WIP
Post by: zemjw on 11 February 2022, 08:27:53 AM: There are quite a few on Amazon just now, so I've taken the plunge. If nothing else it will keep all the other unbuilt kits in the loft company ;D
Title: Re: Spaceship WIP
Post by: Lost Egg on 11 February 2022, 08:36:07 AM: Looking good, got my fingers crossed for more pics, especially against some 28mm minis.

That's happened with the N1 Starfighter ::)
Title: Re: Spaceship WIP
Post by: Daeothar on 11 February 2022, 10:05:06 AM: Yeah; the only N1 fighters kits still available on Ebay at the moment are a few of the diecast ones in 1/48, and those are way too hard to convert to my liking... :?

+++EDIT+++ Correction: even those are now gone... ::)
