Kit description

The ship model is the same as the one showcased on YouTube (https://youtu.be/vtlpLyk1EiA) except for a few improvements

  • The upper halve of the hull is printed in Silk Silver PLA. This gives a shiny steel-like aspect looking way better than in the YouTube video.
  • The lattice of the front window is black instead of grey. This unifies the design with the small windows which have a black frame around.

Functions

  • The engines and windows light up
  • The 4 fins move
