Full build of the Airfix 2000 release, 1970 tooling, 1/144 scale Saturn V with Roy Cross box art. Music from You Tube Music Library: Read All Over Nathan Moore
Takes me back. I built the same kit (Remember the box art well) in late 1978, when I was 11. I remember being surprised just how well I did the black stripes by BRUSHING! Had a few runs on the angled portion with the fine grooves but overall, I was very happy with it. Have always thought about doing it again.......ALSO.....It'd be awesome to do with the paper model of the LUT / Gantry tower (But I'm leary of doing a paper model.
Having watched some Revell builds it looks like the end result in both cases is similar. Both kits lack main engine detail. The Revell version, compared to mine, does seem to be more accurate around the service module however I understand the most recent Airfix release has improved this area. I had this particular Airfix version in my stash, bought from Woolworths for £10 20+ years ago. If buying again I'd look for whichever was on special offer, unless Airfix released one in any of the 1970's boxes and I'd be all over that.
@@DarkStarProjects-hw2hn The Revell is about £35 so I recon it's a deal at that price. It seems they do a 1/96th scale version for £130 too, it's rather large lol. I can't find a supplier of the Airfix one? Thanks of the reply :)
@@RichardsModellingAdventures I built the 1/96 Revell version to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11- it's certainly impressive when complete! I'd built the 1/144 Airfix kit at the time of the moon landings, but nowhere near the same standard as yours.
