A good quality kit let down by the strange choice of a solid canopy. This was easy to fix with a mini drill and razor saw, then some acetate glued in with canopy glue. Plenty of detailing opportunities in the kit, and a decent size at 18cm. |

Here are your canopy templates - 1cm grid. |

Watch out for the engine halves - they won't line up - I used lollypop sticks for splints while the glue dried. |

Here's the lightproofing and the backside of the instrument panel |

Nice engine detail. |

I added these home made turbines as the kit parts were plain domes. I've seen the turbines in the t.v. series. |

The instrument panel, complete with DRAGUS display. Would make a cracking pair with the Cylon Raider. Supplied with a base including 4.5V power socket and switch, which interfaces with the model through a socket discretely fitted through the floor. |
