1/144 Dragon Cutaway Shuttle w/Airfix SRB ET and Revell Launch Tower
Bubbinski:
Hi all...
The IPMS Nationals is on August 4th in Phoenix, where I used to live and still have many familial connections (and places to stay!). I’m building something for it. I’ve gotten started, and will start with pictures of progress on the Dragon cutaway orbiter (left side will have some clear portions masked to show the interior, while the right side will be all painted).
Bubbinski:
And here’s a couple of progress shots from tonight.
mike robel:
Nice thus far. I was a little surprised to find my Dragon/747 cutaway had hatches on both sides of the orbiter. Another example of poor engineering on their part (but not quite so bad as on their Apollo and Saturn kits).
Bubbinski:
Thank you. I will of course putty over that hatch. Tonight’s progress.
Bubbinski:
Here’s a shot of the Revell launch tower and the work done so far. I know it’s out of scale (1/162) compared to the RSS and shuttle, but I don’t have the skills to really scratchbuild a tower in the correct scale.
