Revell's Imperial Shuttle model

[@paulgertsch7105]

Great job as always. You turned a toy into a work art. Thanks for the tip on the flashing LED lights.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks friend!

[@matttheknife3652]

Great job as always mate - really nice looking kit - and a great size too! Thanks for sharing,

Very nice that came out great the weathering is perfect.

Another big one that turned out nice. If you wanted to light the cockpit, you can use Turtle Wax bug and tar remover spray, as it takes the paint off in a matter of seconds. The few times I have had to remove paint I have used that instead of the purple bath. You can be back to painting in a matter of minutes compared to days of soaking in a tub of purple cleaner. Accidentally discovered that about 30 years ago. It will not hurt the plastic or clear plastic either. When done just wash it with soap and water.

Thanks, and thanks for the tip! I'll have to keep that in mind for future use.

[@DesertSandSailor]

Awesome, just got a kit that needed this. Thanks!

You need to reply to the person who posted this video, not me.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks!

[@JimPaulJr]

No problem. That happened before on one of your videos. I didn't know what they were talking about at first.

Looks great! This kits not bad for a Revell, a good size. Maybe 1/100? Thanks for that LED trick. I’m not an electronics wizard and I wish I knew about trying the flashing to non-flashing, in-series trick. Never thought that would have worked but you proved it does. Nice job my friend!

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks! The figures that come with it look to be around 1/72 but they are probably not to scale with the shuttle.

[@occamsrayzor]

Very nice job, as always. That flashing LED circuit is a series arrangement, though, not parallel :-)

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks, yeah I didn't think that sounded right.

[@manic67kmo]

Great job. You should try and find one of the old MPC imperial shuttle. A lot bigger. cockpit has Vader and 2 pilots.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks, I'm looking for one for a reasonable price.

[@graysonchen1824]

Awesome and really helpful! I would like to reproduce this video to other website, I believe the watchers who love star wars models will be excited:)

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks, yes, please feel free to share!

[@cobusprinsloo]

Is the main color white, or an off-white like the Falcon? I have an old, unbuild AMT kit of the shuttle with poor paint instructions.

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

I used an off-white, pure white always comes out very bright and fake-looking to me.

[@cobusprinsloo]

@@EagleSciFiModeler thanks for your response. Would this be something like SMS light gull grey, or Valejo white grey?

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

I like using white grey, some gull greys have a darker color...and sometimes a yellowish tint.

[@the-primered-thumb]

ACE 😉👍

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks!

[@filip8985]

cool video, imo the cockpit is a bit small compared to the rest of the ship, but i find thats the case with most revel models, the proportions arent always the best

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Thanks, yeah it has its flaws but with some work it can be decent.

[@DavidRLentz]

What scale is it, please?

[@EagleSciFiModeler]

Scalemates list it at 1/106 scale. The pilots included in the kit look closer to 1/72 but they look out of scale.

[@DavidRLentz]

@@EagleSciFiModeler , maybe the pilots were clones of Lord Vader.

@@julianmroc3648 , I met David Prowse. He at 205 cm and 126 kg (6'7", 265 lbs) was TWICE my size! (I then was 181 cm tall and 60 kg; 5'11", 132 lbs.)
