Republic Nu-Class Shuttle

So I decided to give this kit a go... Supposed to be an easy snap fit. It has very little detail and the overall fit is pretty damn rough. There will be lot of filling, sanding, scribing and adding panel details. Also lights. Lots of them.  

Starting with the cockpit. Currently it's just painted fibre optics on a white LED, but I will switch to colored and blinking LEDs eventually. 

Started to scribe a bit, and added some styrene bits and pieces for details. 

some lights for the back burners, I still need to figure out a way to light the main engines, drilling them out could be difficult, due to the way they are attaced to the backplate. 

Adding more and more detail to the hull. Not really something I've done before so far and I'm being my usual sloppy self. Hopefully a good coat of primer will hide that.
