Revell Apollo-Soyuz US - Soviet Space Link-up

[BlackSheep214]

This is 1 of 3 kits I have been putzing around with these last few weeks off and on. I finally finished it last night.

The kit:



The finished kit...












The main base is unpainted. The raised letters and circles I used red & yellow paint makers, the black is permanent marker. My plan is to find a bottle of sorts to display it inside with Earth and space in the background. Something similar to the Scenes in a Bottle kit I did as a kid.

I still have that kit with plans to restore it. Here's the original Scenes in a Bottle of the Apollo-Soyuz link-up kit....




I'm going to need to find replacement decals for this one...

That’s really a cool build!

On top of that, not common at all!

Thank you. Not common to find at a show either. Grabbed this one at Syrcon show a couple years ago for a great price. Kit was dated 1975 or 1976.

Very cool! Gotta love the space stuff!

That's cool Tom - looks great.

Tell you're wife you're ready for that shower remodel

[BlackSheep214]

Absolutely, Mike. Everyone should build anything from the golden era of space travel. I'm always looking for any vintage Space related kits.

LOL @ John. No bathroom remodels. Both bathrooms already have gone through renovations.

That’s a good looking build Tom! The mission took place in 1975 and the kit came out at the same time. I built one of them back then. I’m looking to get another to build again.

Neat build, Tom, I have a Saturn V in the pile, but need some other subjects.
