mnwildpunk Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Being a huge beatles fan all my life. I decided to help a friends son build this kit. It will be fun and a learning process. Has anybody built this and have any tips for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eizzle Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Psychodellic man! I'm sorry, this is the first time I've even seen the kit, but after staring at the box for a minute it brought back this feeling from several years ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnwildpunk Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 I just hope my skills are good enough to pull off the tri-tone paint job let alone painting the captain and the nowhere man in the portholes,hatches or whatever they are called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Gore Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Interesting kit. I'm going to watch this build. Please show sprue shots and kit contents and you build progress as you go along. If this is possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnwildpunk Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) I will take sprue shots later tonight when I get back home. I will surely keep y'all posted and probably ask lots of questions. Edited August 29, 2012 by mnwildpunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnwildpunk Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 As I look at the instructions they are very cryptic the rubber band and penny are not included. Darn them this thing is going to cost me more money!! Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnwildpunk Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Here are the parts the captain btw I have to watch the movie because I think the colors of his uniform are wrong in the instructions I took a dozen pix and couldn't get a clear one of this little guy I don't see where these flowery things go in the instructions do you? scopes and decals sadly as I look at it it's a poor quality kit but I'm going to do my best to honor one of my favorite movies dum dum dum dum heeeey bulldog yaaaaaa I hear it already!

TooOld Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Actually , in the photos the quality looks much better than I expected ! I think the little flowery things are suppossed to be little flowery things . Or some foreign object floating in the pool ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizio Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Nice! I always been curios about this kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnwildpunk Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 I did some research and the colors AMT suggest are way off probably to escape licensing or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chebbysteve Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 In the original issue, there were four clear 3-d panels, each with the impression of one of the Beatles. These were even deep enough to act as molds for plaster or whatever medium. Also included in the kit were four color pics of the guys that fit into the frames. The flowery things are the "feet" for the panels so they could be stood up. Sort of like a room divider configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnwildpunk Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'd like to find an original kit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizio Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Are you going to build it or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruleworld Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 i'm sure this is the weirdest subject ever done by a model making company. I'm sure with a bit of scratchbuilding and kitbashing you could make an interesting helicopter out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
