Revell Germany Instruction Pages

Primarily the Revell of Germany C-54 Skymaster in 1/72 scale. But, any c-54 is welcome. Come one, come all.

Date: February 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. But, let's just have some fun and build this classic.

Hmmm…. a lot of interior stuff with paint call out when you're not going to see it anyway once the fuselage is closed up. Such a waste to add all that and not see it.

Yeah. Fine Scale did a review. Guy built the interior just to do it. Said it went together nicely but on any future builds he would not waste the time.

Looks like it would be a cool build though.

I hope so! I do believe I want a natural metal finish, but not sure how to get the somewhat oxidized look. Guess a mule will help.

Thanks for this information Lyle. I just copied that whole post from Britmodeler so I can place it next to my instruction sheet.
