Space Shuttle "Armageddon" (From SCI-FI Showdown)

[Arturius]

Hello guys!
I'm bring it these one, to see if I finish this model. After a while without workbench, now that my fiance its recovering from knee surgery, I did little advences, here some pics

the date of pics, it's a little old, but I hadn't time to take anothers

And here I'd some work with the "windshield", the plastic it's thin, and I need to add some putty to try hold it on the place. :snoopy

well lastest nights, I only add the wings, because this kit it's very poor :vmad with very bad fitting, I don't suggest anyone to buy this one. Only do it, with you want to build this subject baddly!

Cheers :drinks

They made a shuttle model for the film? I really liked that slightly different shuttle.
I have an old 1/72 Monogram Challenger in the stash still, maybe one day.

In the last three pics, I saw a friend who used a correct pen, in the begin looks good and filled the gap, but whem star to sendind the gap was there yet...

Today I work a little more,

Looks like a round of Fill, Sand, Repeat.

Good luck Art.

Kit looks a bit rough. hmy: :zen

Looks like your on the right track. Just a thought, do you have any styrene strip to put into the gaps? It might speed up the filling process. Even some stretch sprue might work. :hmmm

Yeah! It's...

I didn't think about stretch sprue, I tought a little putty will do the work. Next time I'll try. But I don't have any styrene strip, I'll look for it.

Thanks for watching!

After a low-time-bench week, I made some progress. After apply the primer, wich needed some sand to correct the imperfections, was possible make the mask for the paint job.

Them...
start to rain, and the humidity turn the work impossible, my compressor it's simple and don't have a reservatory, making me abort the mission....
Here where we're

Just for note, I resolve clean the windows and them make a detail in the windshield, this why I remove the mask, tomorrow I make it again.

Any commentary, critique or suggestion are welcome.
