Revell Soyuz/Progress

Enhancing very basic kits

These kit components came as part of the Revell International Space Station (04841) and these were very much a case of research and make good, as these were very basic in terms of what could be done with them. I eventually decided to enhance the appearance of these kits by looking for paper model components and/or detailing packs.

My search for detailing packs were fruitless so in the end I decided to look for paper models to enhance the kits. This met with great success and i located a site where i could print copies of Soyuz-TMA and Progress-M modules with ease. I carved out components from these to enhance my models.

The differences are clearly visible, this took a bit of work cutting out specific pieces but the result was worth it in the end. However I would recommend when building the periscope to use a cocktail stick as opposed to a paper cone as this is far easier to create and indeed far more stable!

Thanks for your attention, most of my other posts will simply be photographs of my projects.
