Blue's not a bad base colour for white, though. Puts it in the "cold white" spectrum.

True, but white is better.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

It'll be my tried and tested 'Grey primer - Appliance White' two layer job in actuality I'm sure.

It's worked for me countless times on my airliner models in the past.

That Saturn V-21 concept is getting more intriguing as we go. Hmmmmmm.........

There are a couple of the Atlantis re-release Convair Space Shuttles on ebay for about the same money, and touch wood, I should get a substantial amount of money shortly.

This is a dangerous combination...

There's a Revell 1/144th scale Space Shuttle on Ebay for sensible money, if anyone's interested:

I don't need it because I've already got four... ;D

They're re-releasing that later this year, along with the Saturn V to go with the new SLS kit.

I hope that means the aftermarket guys will put their mod kits for the Saturn V back on the market, because then I can nick the kit engines for other projects.

I'm thinking a lunar rover,

It's time to get serious about hauling all those moon rocks around!

Quote from: PR19_Kit on July 21, 2025, 02:37:07 PMHaving solved Weaver's heartache over the Krafft Ehricke designed Convair Shuttle by buying the single copy that the Big H had in stock (thanks for the link H  :thumbsup: ) I got back from my hols this afternoon to find it had arrived and it's a BIG box too, getting on for 15" long!



I was even  more amazed when I opened it as the kit is all moulded in bright BLUE styrene!  :o



I see a lot of white paint in my future for this build, and I may add, swap, modify some of the bits of course.
The 1996 Revell re-release was moulded in a medium blue-grey and the original 1958 kit in a powder blue. Very '50s pastel.
