Currently debating kitbashing the engine nacelles, but I just cracked a L’Egg container I was going to use   so maybe not I guess…? I’m also short a couple unique parts I never did collect in my current kit stash.

Any advice for getting crips lines on the black parts of the wings? I see some paint the blue then mask and paint the black and I’ve seen some that paint the black, mask, and then paint the blue. Is one way better than the other?

As studio scale builds go, this is one of the simpler models - of course, figuring out the part ID's took me forever!

References for this ship: essentially, you take a screen-capture of *every freakin scene* this ship is featured in the movie, and stare at them until you see the two Tamiya 1/35 Sd.Kfz. 232 Schwerer Panzerspahwagen 8-Rads joined together to make up the aft fuselage. Then it is just a matter buying 2 of the 8-rads and a bunch of sheet styrene and getting to it!

(as built) Parts List

(2) Monogram F-15 Eagle 1/48
(2) Tamiya. 1/35 Sd.Kfz. 232 Schwerer Panzerspahwagen 8-Rad
(1) Lindberg / Glencoe Lunar Lander
(1) Airfix Saturn V
(1) Tamiya 1/35 20mm Flak38 Sd.Ah.52
(1) Tamiya 1/35 German 88mm Gun Flak 36/37
(1) Tamiya 1/35 German Hanomag Sd.Kfz. 251/1
(1) Airfix SRN4 Hovercraft
(1) Hasegawa-Minicraft 1/72 Leopold
(2) 1/24 engine cylinder headers (?) unsure of name, came from old mixed parts box 

-Plastruct 6mm spheres (any 6mm styrene beads should do)

-lots of sheet styrene

I didn't feel like adding lights even though lights (only one, really) are only needed for the main engine at the aft end of the 8-Rad hulls.  I used a wide strip of 3M reflective tape where the light should be.


I was happy with the build, and so was Sybil Danning when I gifted it to her at Wonderfest 2018.  Of course, that means I have to build another one for me...
