SCA W/ Columbia and Enterprise w/ spacelab
Posted by Spark84 on Monday, July 9, 2012 10:20 PM

Hello all,

I just got handed a great opportunity to build a couple models for a local aircraft museum.

One is the Revell 1/144 SCA and space shuttle Columbia, the other is also a Revell 1/144 Enterprise and space lab!

they are older kits the museums caretaker had stashed away for years. i was touring the museum and i pointed out a 1/72 B-36 sitting on a shelf to my wife and told her "that's what that thing will look like if i ever get it finished..."  The caretaker/tourguide heard me and asked if id be interested in building models for the museum. i jumped at the chance and a few days later i went back and i picked out these two kits. 

He wants them build with Enterprise on the SCA and the Columbia on its own, simple matter of swapping the name decals between the kits.

can anyone help me with some good pictures of SCA 905 when it still had its American airlines pinstripes? the ones i come up with searching the internet are OK, but a book or something would be helpful.

thanks!

On the Bench: 1/72 Mono B-36 (...UGH)

Last finished: Revell Space Shuttles Enterprise (On SCA) and Columbia (built both for local aircraft museum)

Spark84,

I don't have any pictures of the real thing, but I do have some pictures of the kit of it my dad made in the early 80's. You're welcome to use them for what little reference value they may have for you.
