As the title says, this is a comparison of the old (1974) AMT Galileo shuttlecraft to the new R2 kit that just came out.
The new kit is listed as 1/32, the old kit is listed as 1/36. For such a close scale the 2 kits are very different sizes!
I'll just post photo's next to each other.
First the boxes, The new kits box is MUCH larger than the old kit:
And it fills the box!
The instructions are about the same size:
The decals are obviously much bigger:
Although, when watching "The Galileo Seven" it shows the Columbus as the number 2 shuttle. Here the choices are
3,6,or 9.
Ok, what everyone has been waiting for, The Parts!
The new kit has many more parts, even without the interior. The new kit parts are of a very high quality!
The new kit is considerably larger:
Well done Jamie and R2! Thank you!
