Mandalorian Razor Crest - Revell - Complete - for now…

I have some 1/72 scale aircrew from Hasegawa that I will add to the base diorama - but that is after I recover from the ...

To light up the engines, you will need to drill out the square areas around the exhaust.

Michael .
Are you using a purchased lighting kit, or developing one of your own?

Hi Michael! I bought the LEDs from Amazon and strung them together on my own. I used a total of 6 parallel circuits with each one drawing about 9V.

I used a rechargeable 9V from Amazon - EBL USB Rechargeable 9V Lithium Batteries - 5400mWh Long Lasting LI-ion Batteries with Micro Charging Cable - and ran a Micro-USB extender to the top of the cargo bay so I can seal the kit, and recharge it later. Having put in close to 40 hours on this kit, I wanted the lighting to last. 😜

Thanks Harald, Nark Robin and DerMattes. The oil weathering just dried and I'm closing it up with the final clear coat. Will post the final shots when I can handle it again without leaving and fingerprints! 😜

Looking really good Capt. 🫡. I had exactly the same issues with the landing gear.... the 'strut' just didn't want to glue and ended up snapping, I pushed a pin up through it to try and strengthen it but it's still really wonky. Tempted to have a go at the AMT kit to see if that's any better?

Lovely stuff. The innards look fantastic with the black basing. Loving the mix of alloys to the exterior and the heat wear on re entry is inspired and something I completely missed that on mine.

Although not a fan of Sci-Fi, I have to admire your metallics! Great job!

Thanks everyone! I learned a LOT from everyone posting their builds on these forums - so I'll be passing the credits to everyone.

@Gareth - from what I can see, the AMT looks lacking on the interior details, but the engines are made to be lit up in flight mode. Didn't see a build with the landing struts.

@Gary - the idea of the re-entry staining came to me when I just happened to see the burnt metallic paint on the rack! I wouldn't have thought of it otherwise. 🤔

@Finn - thank you! But I have a long ways to go to your mad diorama skills!

@Giannis - I had some challenges with the metallics - the Xtreme Titanium looked too "Plastic" to me, so I had to apply a thinned down Polished aluminum to make it shine better.

One thing I forgot to mention is the need to sand down the engine nacelles - some spots were really rough / pebbly - so sanding it down prior to laying down the metallics will save you pain and suffering later 😀

Stick a fork in it, this one's done. I'll update this later when I get around to building a base for it with some figures. This was a decent kit, but with a little more thought and effort, Revell could have made this a really cracking kit. I would definitely recommend this kit, but you will need a lot of patience when tackling the landing gears and ramps - on top of the numerous kit defects, but hey, if I can build it, anyone can! 😀
