The shuttle subject contrasts broad white and dark surfaces, making the overall finish and alignment important to the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlanning the build\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the white base and dark boundaries on a sample before masking the model. Keep paint layers fine at the edges of the windows and panel details.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWorking in 1\/288 scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the stated scale when comparing the completed model with other subjects. For a ship, the hull length and arrangement of the decks can vary greatly between vessels in the same scale. Plan the display before assembly and use fine paint layers around smaller fittings to preserve their definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePainting and markings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the marking option in the instructions before selecting colors. Test the primer and base color on a spare piece, then compare any panel wash or highlight against that sample. Plan masks for glazing and sharp color boundaries before the final assembly makes access more difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Academy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject\u003c\/strong\u003e: Space Shuttle \u0026amp; Boeing 747 Carrier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/288\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e: ACD12708\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcademy kit number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12708\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Model Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore starting\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the box and instructions for the exact contents and any required supplies.
