I have build now Leo's very beautiful Soyuz launcher in scale 1:48...
it's a real big thing....

So to fill the fairing with the soyuz capsula I have also build Alfonsos (AXM) Soyuz scaled to 1:48...

To build a Launchpad I look for the czech Albatros model from 1981...

That looks great, I built Ton's 1/48 one from The Lower Hudson Valley Paper Model E-Gift Shop - Photo Gallery - Russian and European Spacecraft it's a good model but it's colored in a white frosted look like just before launch. I like the color of your better, where did you get it?.....Rich

As already written in our german forum: Amazing work!

Good and clean build, Michael.

My compliments to you.

Makes me wonder why Leo C. never did the Soyuz, like he did the rest...
I've asked him a few times by email, but no response.
But the AXM-version is nice too.

Michael, your work always amazes and inspires me!

Simply beautiful!

Hi Michael, you did a great job! Nice and clean. It's a big one indeed. How do you fit the Soyuz into the fairing? There are a lot of protrusions on the spacecraft. When I made the 1/96th version some time ago, I adapted the fairing (I made it split it in two halves) to house the Soyuz inside.

@ Willem: You can also try to PM him, because he is a member here. He responded to my PM quite quick, anyway. I guess he doesn't often respond to messages from his site.

I have fit the Soyuz in the fairing with only put in.
All the protrusions I have glued flat on. The Solar wings I have folded and also glued flat...everything goes well ...
