Corvettenutts,

thanks for your nice words.

Honestly, this is my first larger Real space project. Before that, about 2 years ago, I built a Jumbo 747 and an Airbus A380, after I approximately 30 years no longer built.

In my childhood I built mostly aircrafts, as well as a larger helicopter and a nuclear ice-breaker. That's all.

You are right, before starting of my Launch Pad project I have spent some time with preparing and studying similar construction reports in German forums. However, the main difficulty was to get one of the old Revell Launch Tower Kits 4911, which really is a rarity.

Finally, I've got a kit from a German dealer who got it from a friend in the US. I was very happy, and then I could have actually started. But then I have spent longer time with the Revell 4911 scale problems and was thinking about a compromise, which I posted in the beginning.

So much for my modeling background.
