Recently Purchased this kit, got it very cheap and decided to build a space theme around this for my sons bedroom... this is the progress so far... As you can see, I've used 'Aida" from a cross stitch kit for blankets and the tiles are scratchbuilt... The decals I've seen for these kits are out of production now and also don't look that realistic... In my opinion it's worth the extra effort to make this shuttle look a little more real... I haven't stuck to any-one choice of shuttle... some of this build is imagination rather than reference..
I have the complete landing gear and the instructions left from this kit if anyone would like them,before I throw them out :D
