True. But maybe he's building a remastered version.Just in case you don't already know those impulse engines were not on the original filming model of the D-7 and are there for inaccurate depending on who you ask.
I would.True. But maybe he's building a remastered version.
Funny, I've used that for things myself!For the impulse detail you could aways try and find an audio cassette holder molded in clear with ridges and cut pieces from it.
The original 1968 issue had clear green parts for the stairstep pieces, but at some point those were replaced with flat, textured rectangular "windows." Both versions were inaccurate, as the filming miniature had the zigzag inserts painted to match the rest of the hull.My first thought (after considering the trouble to rework the areas) was to try and find an old '91 kit on ebay. You can get these for > $10 if you're careful, but there was nothing available at the moment for less than $30.
Well, I don't think what color they were molded in makes them inaccurate. I've never seen the 'window' version though.The original 1968 issue had clear green parts for the stairstep pieces, but at some point those were replaced with flat, textured rectangular "windows." Both versions were inaccurate, as the filming miniature had the zigzag inserts painted to match the rest of the hull.
Only the stripes at the base of the neck had mylar on them. It seems likely the area was painted silver though (matching the other 'grills' on the model).I was under the impression that the stairstep was covered with mylar.
