Impressive kit!

Amazing detail for this beautiful scale model. Hats off to John Boren on a superbly designed rocket. It was an interesting and fun build. Be sure to paint as much of the rocket pre-assembled as possible. I ended up using Rust-Oleum camo green gray paint. It seemed a bit bolder color that matched the pictures of the actual soyuz rocket. It is a bit fragile once it's all assembled. I question if I should fly it or not. Some of the parts could potentially get damaged or lost. I love scale kits! This one ranks right up there with the Saturn v! A must-have for any collection!

Estes 1/48 Soyuz Is. Winner!

Although it’ll likely be a while before I build Estes incredible 1/48 scale Soyuz, I would like to share my impressions of the kit. In a word: Wow! While looking at the contents of the kit, I was extremely impressed and by the large quantity of parts and the level of detail present on them. This kit is amazing! With careful assembly and finishing, this fantastic kit will present beautifully as a display model well worthy of any spacecraft display. In fact, It’s so well executedthat that it’s easy to forget that it flies! Estes is to be heartily congratulated for producing this extraordinary model. Its designer is a genius and I hope this kit will be followed by others of this caliber in the immediate future. Outstanding!
