Hi, I am new to modelling and this forum. This is my very first build using any form of modelling kit. I have always had an interest in space particularly both Nasa and Roscosmos programmes. When I saw this Revell kit in the shop I thought that it might be rather good to give it a go despite having never built one of these kits before, anyway I acquired all the paints and materials and set to work. The little time I had after work was spent making this model. I know that certain elements of it are not correct, such as the ribbed external tank, size of the mobile launch platform, the tail service masts etc. I do not have the modelling experience of technical ability to scratch-build also. (I understand that Airfix produce the same scale stack with correct external tank and shuttle shape etc..) and I tried my best with mixing the colours for the external tank. I also used tile decals for additional detail. I would like member's opinions on my first build and my pursuit in the modelling hobby. I was not sure how best to present the model, so I've posted a link to a short video along with a track I like...I enjoy reading the forum and hope to make another model in the near future, perhaps a 1/144 Saturn V?

Thanks!

Wow. Very nicely done, even if it were your 100th model.

Congrats!

The good folks in Modelgeek will really love that
