Comments:
|
The lexan tubes make up the two stages of the rocket. The vacuformed
parts were formed over female molds: the detail is very good, with the
window scallops of the reentry section correctly molded for the manned
Gemini flights (the Revell 1/48 scale kit's scallops are based on the
prototype and are not correct for the actual flight vehicle). The
resin pieces are quite delicate, particularly the equipment and retro
sections of the spacecraft. Detail is very good on all resin parts,
with very few (if any) pinholes. The instructions provide exploded
drawings of the capsule, first, and second stage engine assemblies
(which are nice models in themselves: Eagles Talon also sells the
Titan engines as separate kits). The instructions also provide
wrap-around painting guides and complete engine isometric drawings to
aid the modeler with superdetailing. |
