EXCELLANT SIZE REALY EXCITED TO BUILD IT IM HALFWAY THROUGH AND ITS GREAT TO PUT TOGETHER IM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS AND IF YOU HAVE CATALOGUE OF MODELS I WOULD BE GREAT TO SEE WHAT YOU HAVE IF YOU CAN PLEASE POST ONE TO ME REGARDS
First of all, props to HTDirect for being a fantastic service.
Now, on to the model kit.
As a model builder I'm pleased that I bought this smaller scale version of the 2001 Discovery simply because it will fit on my display shelf just perfect once complete.
During inspection, the sprues look great with minimal flash, the kit parts are nicely detailed for their size and it seems like a straight forward build since a lot of the parts for the spine and cargo holds are repeated during the construction process as the instructions clearly say.
The front and rear bulkheads are the only areas of difference regarding size, details and preparation. There's even room to install small 3mm LED's or SMD's for lighting.
I wont go too much into detail as there are unboxing and build videos of this kit up on Youtube which will offer a more in-depth review.
A cute kit and a perfect size for a lazy weekend of model kit building.
Crisp moulding and lots of detail faithful to the movie. Looking forward to building it soon. Makes me want to get the larger kit in the future.
Looking forward to building the model
This is a great kit of the iconic Discovery XD-1 from the epic movie "2001 a Space odyssey " . Molded in light grey it builds up into a highly detailed replica of the famous spaceship. Highly recommended 😁
