Moonraker shuttle commission build 2

[Gunpowder]

The first Moonraker i built was the Monogram full stack one. This is the Revell 1/72 one. Its been a very long , very hard slog. Nothing on this kit fitted without filler. There was untold amount of filling priming , resanding. The windows dont fit too well , the doors were a pain , the cockpit roof was the worst fitting part of all.
Despite all of this it is shaping up to be a very nice model. The black was applied today , and it makes all the difference.
Heres a couple of photos of the build so far.

The stripe goes on

And the black also

Yes, I have one more shot, but it’s a older picture, taken back in 1995 at PHL.
And the shuttle is not in close-up

That's not just a great Moonraker build, that's a great shuttle build in general. I will one day build my own shuttle and this raises the bar for that eventuality. Can't wait to see your weathering.
