Moon Bus Thruster and Rocket Set
1:60 ish scale
Completely Redesigned New Version
Below please find photos of the low resolution prototypes of the newly redesigned and retooled Moon Bus Thruster and Rocket Set.
Every piece has been completely redesigned for the utmost in accuracy. High resolution copies are being made to use as masters for resin casting.
The parts count has been reduced to make construction easier as well as improve overall accuracy.
Included in this set are:
- Replacement "shoulder pads" that include the eight RCS thrusters as well as surface details missing from the kit part.
- Replacement rocket engines: two for the front and four for the rear that have the proper angle built in to match the filming miniature's "dihedral" angle.
- Replacement rear wall, exact in every detail, including for the interior.
- 0.02" brass rod for the rocket engine piping.
- Bending jig for the brass rod.
