Real Space Models' Command and Service Module, mated to a mostly scratch-built Soyuz 19. I corrected the orbital module, descent module, and the service module. I also cast a new docking probe in resin, the kit's shape was incorrect. I lost count of the number of antennae present, all aligned properly. This was a fun project, detente in space, when on Earth, things were rocky. And to think, the vehicle that carried the Soviets into space, well, you know the rest of that story.

Very nicely done (as usual). What scale is this by the way? |

Thanks she's 1/96th. Real Space's CSM, and Revell's Soyuz, cut apart, and resculpted. |

Nice work Steve. I assume there are tiny toothpaste tubes full of Vodka in the Soyuz? |

Gary, thank you. My only question, when was that to be consumed, before, during, or after. I know when I would have needed it! Steve |

Great work there... It always amazes me the difference in size between the two craft. I seem to remember that the CSM was placed in the lowest orbit possible and the Soyuz in it's highest. Anybody able to verify this? |
