Beautiful work. I designed the decal artwork for this kit and I am glad to see the translucent orange stripe effect over the weathered wings work out. I provided options to allow modelers to either use the decals or paint the orange stripes on. Now you just have to do the Marine shuttle option. Once again, great job!
Thank you very much. And yes, the decals on this kit are amazing so, Nice Work. One of these days I will build another one so I can do the Marine version. Thank you for watching and have a great weekend.
Been looking at this kit. Thanks. Just Sub’d to your channel. Jeff’s Model Garage pointed me in your direction. Looking forward To more builds. Take care. Jeff🇨🇦
Thanks for the sub and your welcome. I've got a lot more coming, I post about every other week. I'm going to head over to your channel now and check it out. Have a great day.
Good job! I am thinking on buying this new kit because it does have more detail and love the decals. I do have the older version by Revell and the mold is not the best and the decals aren't much better but feel I could build an okay space shuttle. 😄😎
Great Model and wonderful realization. Just a comment ... I know that is a very common mistake because instructions on this model are not driving correctly but the underbelly of the Space Shuttle for both Drax's and Space Marines versions, is brown and not black. The reason for that is due to the fact that Derek Meddings, the special effect guy for Moonraker movie wanted to create a clear contrast between the models and the black space background.
Surprised on the detail( piping, rings around the boosters, and the tiles on the shuttle ) too. The movie was tongue and cheek at the time, but the sound effects for the shuttle launch was impressive since the real shuttle haven’t launch at the time.
You did a good job on this kit. It is the weathering that makes it stand out. The kit itself is so basic that it is a step above a snap tight kit. I would get this kit for beginners. I am not that thrilled with the build potion of the video. Pictures don't tell the story of the build like actually seeing you build the model. You may have formatted the video in the fashion you show due to the simplicity of the kit. I don't know. Still, it turned out nice.
Thank you very much for your comments. I agree, this is a basic kit and would be great for beginners, but still a fun kit to build and have fun with. The stills are because I didn't have any video of the build. I am currently working on new builds with more video content so, stay tuned for much more.
AMT hasn’t come out with a better James Bond Moonraker Kit. At 1/200 scale is kind of small and the parts are difficult to handle it’s very flimsy sometimes. The Revell Moonraker kit is bigger with alot of detail. This model rates poorly in size and I definitely won’t purchase this model kit. I just wish AMT would have done a better job releasing the Moonraker kit but sadly it’s doesn’t meet my expectations. 😢
Moonraker is a cool movie... and well done with your build.. thanks from down under. 🙂🇳🇿
Thank you

Okay tell me why the stripes on my decal sheet are OD green instead of orange, also the display base is black instead of white like in the video.
Great job. Your work inspired me to order this kit.
Thanks! It's a fun build, I'm sure you will enjoy it!
That looks amazing 👍 ❤️
Thank you. Have a great day.

Thanks! This is a simple kit but I think it's great. You won't be disappointed.

Thank you for the comments, much appreciated. I agree, the movie was fins and it had it's moments. Have a great day.

I agree, the Revell model is a much better kit overall. That said, I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great week.
I got mine for 13 bucks at Ollie's today
