And even though the pictures of it are good, the real thing is brilliant. ! I would decide which you want and look up some pictures of the era you would like.

Got this to build in lockdown with my son and we enjoyed every bit, it’s relatively easy to assemble although you need a little patience as the parts needed some prep work before they could be assembled or painted (i find this a lot with revell models) the instructions were nice and clear and i like the way you get decals to make it into any of the 4 space shuttles (we chose the Discovery) i would highly reccomend this to any space or model fan but remeber when its built its almost 44cm high! With many of the older kits, you will find that some bits don’t line up perfectly either. ).

. I created what is pictured. Once painted he then very finely used a spray varnish to seal the colours ands the transfers, but this must be done from a distance, the base was spray paint in grey . The decals are crisp, but need a steady hand with some of them, especially the ones on the boosters.

This was created actually quite easily using a TV LED strip (you can find them everywhere with a remote and USB powered do-hickey), cotton wool, and 2 bits of dowel drilling through the SRB’s exhaust nozzle (Solid Rocket Boosters) and the base transporter. The best part? your imagination is your limit. It does have a few problems with the molding nothing serious turned out a nice looking model.

If you want a simpler space model try Airfix A11150 Saturn V Skylab 1:144 Scale Space Exploration Model Kit , Airfix A06172 Saturn 1B 1:144 Scale Space Exploration Model Kit , Airfix A50106 1:72 Scale NASA Space Exploration One Small Step for Man 40th Anniversary of the Moon Landing Gift Set with Paints, Glue and Brushes : enjoy! Using the model "crawler" as a display stand gives the finished model a much more reallistic look! I'm nowhere near the best at them but, this was very rewarding when you see the end result.

You will get back what you put in! The instructions are in multi-lingual format and require constant reference to an icon chart and paint numbers, for Revell paints (colour conversion charts are available on-line. The instructions don’t really cover the difference between the era’s on the transfers section. I bought this for my husband who has not built a kit for years, when he was young he built them all the time, but life has a way of getting in the way of hobbies don’t they, He says the kit was not too bad, it needed it a bit trimming and cleaning up , paint used were Revell satin model paint and spray paint rust oleum satin , he used plastic glue and super glue, the decal were fine .
