Vostok I
Some disassembly required

Scale:
1:25
Status:
On hold
Started:

Bought this second hand. The kit is partially, but incorrectly assembled already. So, some disassembly required.
Will rebuild with some scratchbuilt details, guided by Space in Miniature #4 and Right on Replicas review of the 1:24 Revell Vostok kit.

The instructions that came with the kit contains no drawings explaining how the kit is to be assembled, only written instructions in German, Russian, Polish and what I believe to be Czech. I have however found a more recent version from Ninfinger that contains drawn assembly instructions (ninfinger.org/models..s/plasticart1518.pdf)
