BorgR3mc0 goes real space: SpaceShip Two (Revell 1/144)

[BorgR3mc0]

So, I am a bit bogged down with my Bf-109. And on a holiday. So, I chose to take a “easy” model with me. Another advantage is that I do not have to choose between a jet or a rocket!
The Revell SpaceShip Two is in 1/144 scale, it has a fantastic decal sheet, all white: that sounds easy enough.

Being on holiday I decided just to build sub assemblies and put it together when I get home. Most of the windows are easily glue in because they are quite large parts. (Several small windows on a large part). However the forward windows are tiny and fit in only one way. They where horrible to glue in.
The engines look similar but actually are handed. I found that out then glued the first one together... my mistake. I should have taken more notice of the instructions.

Very cool! I’ve seen this kit in the store and always wondered how it looked.

[KSaarni]

Indeed a cool kit, was not aware of its existence as a kit.

Hmm, I must also try to bring a kit with me while travelling in work. Not a bad idea, not at all!

Looking back at the progress photos, I just realized that's gonna be a big one for 1/144 scale.

Welcome to the GB Borg and what a brilliant choice, I'm looking forward to seeing more!

I hope you're enjoying yourselves in Yorkshire.

Very cool subject!

Yorkshire was great but I am home once again. And working on this kit.

I did a shot of a test fit with a P-40 for comparison. As you can see it is a pretty large bird. About the size of a DC-9.
I also masked the windows and started on putty. I used Sintofer automotive putty thinned with cellulose thinner. It looks worse than it is. The putty is wide but very thin. Like thick paint.
