These large circles are the wheels in beeing. They just want to get folded into shape and glued to each other. Of course the wheels are handed… The size of the construction manual is impressive too. Yep, this is definitly not a shake-n’-bake kit. This will become a serious effort. Maybe in autumn, during my vacation. We shall see.
Not very large. Finally it had to fit into the top of a rocket. So it is just about the size of a WW2 medium tank turret. Think of a Sherman or a Panzer IV turret without skirts.
This was the very first space-related object I wanted to model in the early eighties. There was a simplified model building tip article in a book with details about how to make and motorize it. That scale could be quite large compared to yours and it was amazing for a 10 yrs old boy.
Nice subject. I too wanted to get one but I am big picky and would like this in larger scale so it can look cool in my glass cabinet. However, this is looking nice and cannot wait to see you start cracking at it.
Better hurry, as you said…it might not be enough time. That guy in the WH might fall asleep sitting behind that red button while licking his ice cream and hit the big red button with his head. I that sense we all better start crackin get this kits finished
