I wish I knew. I got most of my ideas for my rebuild from that site. Here are a couple other good references for this ship:

I think that I probably applied the engines first and then the boom. I know I did with the later version. Considering the amount of filler necessary I decided that it would be easier without the boom attached. On the earlier kit's main hull, I must have been pretty careful about lining up the hull halves. I don't see any troublespots on the model. The reason I sound a little vague about the first one was that I built it sometime in the '70s and I'm a little fuzzy about that decade.

You and just about anyone who was High School age or above when it started, Bill...

TForward,

And according to one other poster black. . . Ok, on a slightly unrelated topic what was the "wildest" color you all have seen a kit cast in???

OT, and just curious- What is

Chris,

Basically it's a way of verifying that the person who claims to have sent an E-Mail/posting is truly the person who did. As well as verifying that it wasn't altered by anyone between the time that it was sent and posted/received.

Thanks, I feel somewhat enlightened...

In my "vast experience" (insert sarcasm here) I remember a model of the Trieste submersible labratory when I was very young, maybe 8 yrs. It was orange, the front half was clear so you could see the interior. About 10 inches long maybe? Have no idea of manufacturer. Anyone else remember that?

I am sure that we have all run across models, at one time or another, molded in every color imaginable...so I really can't provide another outlandish example.

But....I do remember a kit (a Revell 1/72nd P-47 I think...), that had decal markings for an Australian version. The light blue "inner meatball" of the roundels, were printed in the most incredibly gorgeous shade of

That's SEAC. The RAF, RNZAF and RAAF generally had white centers for Pacific Theatre actions.

No, but I had (still have) a Matchbox 1/72 Zero which was molded in orange and white plastic...

There must be at least one kit released in bright shiny purple plastic. What about those "glow in the dark" releases?

I have a copy that I built (sort of) in orange. It had a weight for the observation ball and a rubberband 'motor' to make it work. With a little work it made a nice, if not overly-detailed model, about 1:100 scale. My copy was a Canadian pop-off of a Japanese kit. There was also an Alvin (very early version (have), a Japanese Kaiten manned torpedo (have) and a bunch of Jacques Cousteau submersibles (gimmie!!!!), all with the same swimming pool motors.

Purple wins, I think.

Purple? Must have been molded in that infamous inferior-quality Soviet "beet-plastic". The special "turnip-plastic" was reserved for special projects...

:o)

I have an EE Lightning Mk.6 in purple from the former USSR. Howzzat? Mucho mould release also.
