you do get decals for the instrument panels but I decided to paint the lights in them instead.

watching closely mate,got the mark 2 and mark 7 in the stash, looking good so far. gonna have to get the cylon raider and centurian soon as well. best sci fi series in years ,way better than the original in my humble opinion even if starbuck is the wrong sex.

 

[Alan 45]

is this a rebox of the moebius kit or a new tool, the only reason i ask is that lots of people have had problems with the decals in the moebius kit, dont know if revell's are the same or not.

I have had problems with the decals on this one , I recon people are correct about it being a rebox because the boxes are exactly the same just the makers names are different, in the shop I got this from the Mobius versions are £10 dearer than the revell release

.

thanks for letting me know , I was going to get the Mobius versions thinking they may of been more detailed

hear is some pics of the ship with battle damage awaiting decals.View attachment 55493View attachment 55494View attachment 55495View attachment 55496View attachment 55497View attachment 55498View attachment 55499View attachment 55500View attachment 55501View attachment 55502View attachment 55503View attachment 55504

the nose is painted the ribbon is decal with paint to fill the gaps , the decals were a bit of a nightmare and needed quite a bit of trimming .
