Marscenter STS-1 Columbia

Hi folks,


Recently, I successfully recieved my dream kit- The Betexa Shuttle Atlantis!!!
I've never fully built the Marscenter kit before, which is virtually the same model as the Betexa kit. I wanted to practice, so a few months ago, I started to modify the template to resemble the early space shuttle specs.



Now, I think it is impossible for me to do a 100% accurate job on this kit, since it needs more editing than I can handle, so I am just going to make the model look more or less like the shuttle Columbia from 1981.


I started off by completely redrawing the cockpit windows. I traced some decals a few years ago, so I started there. Next was the crazy part- The tiles. Photos show the forward fuselage completely covered in tiles. I did a messy and inconsistent job, but I hope it will look okay to some.


I admit it, I rarely focus on one project, so this may take a while..... A lot of models tempt me now and then. But please do stay tuned for updates on this project...
