Revell Convair Shuttle & Moonship


 The Revell Convair Space Shuttle kit is an old model, originally from the late fifties, but reissued many times. It's last outing would be a space pursuit set, coupled with the earlier Moonship in the 70s. I bought both kits separately, with the Moonships case as an incomplete kit, already made.
 The shuttle was a new reissue and I built it in  my favourite colour scheme, to reflect Zero X.The crew area is covered by a red cover, but tonight I decided to quickly customise a Nuclear Ferry style cockpit with a little acetate and a brace of Zoids pilots!

  3. I think you've nailed it with your choice of colours, Bill. It's these details which make the difference :)
