Description

This was twelve years in the making. I started this project back in 2008. Every time I thought I was finished there was always something else that needed to be added or readjusted. I even detached the forward fuselage to extend the length of the cargo by two inches and had to tie everything back together thread by thread. Fast forward to 2020 and I found this model practically mothballed in the basement. Given the Quarantine and the need to stay indoors, I chose to focus much of my spare time during the last two weeks of July on this model including readjusting the wings, overhauling the engine sections and decking out the cargo bay area interiors along with building new cargo bay doors. I added two manipulator arms as well as radiator panels. I will admit; I could have done a way better job on the radiator panels, but by August 1st, 2020 I seriously just wanted to move on to other projects.

Shuttle is about 20 inches in length.
