I thought it was just an example of what the missiles from those hatches on the inside, I didn’t realize it was supposed to be a single giant missile that’s probably close to the size of a battleship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a huge missile (or clip on wheel chassis) was never used—or intended to be used—in the TV series.

tekering Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 Wow, great to see there's still interest in the ol' SDF-1. 😲 My inkjet printer is slowly dying, and I don't think I'll be able to print custom decals any more... 💀 However, I bought an SLA resin printer last month, and the detail it's capable of is stunning. 🤩 So as you can see, I've got a ton of new modeling projects to distract me. 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodman Models Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 This is a great project! I don't often pay attention to the toy side of things, but both ships are shaping up nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
