A Revell 1/72 Space Shuttle Orbiter doesn't really fall under Aircraft. Well, kinda. It does have wings and lands as aircraft do. It will go in my Aircraft Museum. I've got a W.I.P. going on under the Space heading and thought maybe I should report in to my Aircraft friends.
Space Shuttles have always fascinated me from day one. This is the third version I've built through the years. I found this one at the last model show for $15. The seller also had the 1/72 stack with tank and boosters which was way too big for my limited display space. I do have a 1/200 version that demonstrates the tank/booster/orbiter well.
I'll hopefully be back soon to the Aircraft world with an intimidating (for me) 1/48 Phantom build or maybe a 1/48 NASA F-104 that I'm still trying to find decals for.
This Shuttle thing is big (21 inches long!) and basic but is turning into a fun project. You could scratch build on this thing forever as a real shuttle is complicated beyond belief!
That's my report to the Aircraft Gang, back soon!
