The shuttle has more than 2.5 million parts, making it one of the most complex machines ever built. The shuttle stack launches vertically, and the orbiter returns to Earth horizontally at the end of each mission. The system is comprised of an external tank, two solid rocket boosters and an orbiter vehicle, which carries the crew and payload. This American spacecraft system has flown more than 130 times, undergoing a variety of missions from satellite launch to space science experiments and construction and repair of space stations. Rockwell Space Shuttle Designed as a re-usable spacecraft for orbital human spaceflight, the Space Shuttle first flew on April 12, 1981. On Augthe Enterprise completed its first free flight and on Octoastronauts Fred Haise and Gordon Fullerton completed approach and landing test flight at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards AFB. On Februthe craft completed its first captive flight followed on Jby the first crewed captive flight. After hundreds of thousands of letters from Star Trek fans the name was changed to Enterprise. The first Space Shuttle was designated OV-101 and named Constitution making its public appearance on Constitution Day, September 17, 1976. NASA, OV-101 Enterprise, Edwards AFB, CA, Test Flights 1977 Limited Edition Still have a bit to go, all the paint is Tamiya spray can lacquers(love this stuff).Space Shuttle 1:200 Diecast Model - Hobby Master HM-HL1408 - $109.95 Thank goodness I had plenty of spare stencil decals which is key to making this simple model look "complicated". The shuttle had no windows so I cut some in and fitted some gold mirrored plastic into the openings, all the details on the shuttle are painted and mostly decals that I made. The fuel tank is painted to look as if it is made of "composite" materials. This Space Shuttle Discovery model from Revell is scaled down to 1:144 scale, and features high detail of the actual spacecraft, including booster rockets and. I have added shrike missle halves to the main booster body to look like fairings that real spacecraft use and couple Rolls Royce Merlin engine parts to the bottom ring. I added some bits and pieces to the "Conformal Fuel Tank" just to liven it up a bit. What I came up with is the Strategic Air Commands "SUB ORBITAL BOMBER" or the SOB-66 ? Like all my other projects I just can't bring myself to building out of the box, so into the spare parts box and searching the web for ideas and then finding graphics images that I downloaded and re-sized to create decals for this project. I needed a break from reality modeling, so I picked up the Atlantis "Convair Space Shuttle" 1:156 scale ?
