Actually, it's been done for
a while. I waited until I got the new camera to send images to you.
(It's a Canon PowerShot S2 IS; works great, especially for someone like
me who only knows enough about cameras to be dangerous!)
I think I just didn't clean off the mold release enough the first time. I ended up taking the paint off with Lestoil, and reprimed it with Duplicolor primer. Then I decided to try Bare-Metal Foil for the first time on a larger project. I learned some things, but it didn't turn out too bad.
I also superglued some brass
rods onto the solar panels for strength. I didn't trust myself with the
thin resin. I also overcoated the decal sheet with Testor's Glosscote
first and then applied the solar panels one at a time to get them to
conform to the rod.
You can see the "Boeing"
logo on the service module - I made those years ago for something else
and thought they would be appropriate.
Anyway, once I got the paint issue fixed I had no problems. Great kit...thanks for going to all the work to produce it, and all the others!
