I open this thread with the hope of getting suggestions or experience done on similar solutions I have set to allow the building of a scale model 1/25 of the Soyuz.
Soyuz is one of my favourite scale model has unique shape and it is full of detail. I did already a model ... now is almost 10 years ago. It was 1/50,two stages with booster separation. It was originally supposed to fly for 15..20 flights. But It was so reliable to survive 57. Then at RJD 2017 a problem to the shock cord led to parachute separation and then to the crash of the main body. The sad thing is that flight was supposed to be the last. Tube and first stage were quite worn. The idea was to leave it on the shelf as display only. I like the look of the "used" rockets. Unfortunately the repair was almost impossible. So I decide to do nothing... but no rocket on the shelf. My friend Wrad did similar model time ago and in one of his posts he wrote about the possibility of an upscale. This idea start to run in my mind... re-built.. or upscale ? Final answer... Go for 1/25 !
