This is the Revell Lockheed Sea Shadow 1/144

I think this is a "easy" project, because the mounting fase is shortly. Only the paint job will require more work, because is all black...and it's necessary to apply different hues

For now, welding the parts of the twin-hull

More advances; the control bridge and the access zone to the interior of the "ship"...

In both cases I "upgraded" the pieces with some "evergreen".

The original:

The control bridge:

Looks like an intriguing build, there!

I'll admit to being less-than-enthusiastic in regards to the actual ship and its practicality/usefulness, but you're making a good go of it! The "cockpit" reminds me of the bridge of a small starship, perhaps something out of Star Trek? ;)

It can! On my first one I removed the exterior raised lines and found that the plastic had shrunk during molding around them, so I had to "fill" raised lines to get rid of them!

I bought a 3V leds to install in the sahdow. Today I received them, and I realized a express test with a 3V battery. I think looks very well!!
