I think Neils' got that part spot on despite a few inaccuracies that even he admitted where there. There's no way to ensure 100% accuracy in all these reproductions we're all making, but you, and I are perfectionists when it comes to this. I know you'll make it right. There is a way to make it as accurate as we can according to the pictures, it just takes some time, and effort where others wouldn't notice. I just don't want to state the obvious, but of course you already know that you've done a phenomenal job with this so far. What we're achieving is something that hasn't been done since these movies were first made.
This is reliving history through modeling. We're all going along for the ride. It is interesting to watch, I just wonder if the kit of this on the rpf is still going to happen? I'd hate have to make one of these from scratch after buying all the kits, and not realising I need more!I'm glad to see that you're doing this project. I wish there was a kit ID list for those looking to make their own. I'd love to make one for myself someday as well offer these as kits for those who can't make their own. This would make a great Christmas present for any Star Wars fan!

Yeah the nose should (and will
) points down more than it actually does.I've corrected the curvature of the top and it looks much better now !
Yeah Neil admitted some inaccuracies but we dont forget he built several Shuttle. I got one of the V1 (the one I restored, a one-off) pull for the cockpit, but he enlarged it for the V2 (the kit), but he also improved it more because I guess he built 1 or 2 more one-offs.
I think the kit is still produced by Steve Neisen, maybe you should try to catch him... if you can !
