Airfix Space Shuttle

This is a nice sized model. Be prepared to spray a lot of paint, this is not a model to paint by hand !  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You have the option to have the bay doors open or closed on this model. I have spru-gooed some floral wire to the doors to try and make some hinged doors to try and keep the interior optionally visible.  

Primed and ready to go.  

Based white 

Shuttle based 

Orange base on Fuel tank

Shuttle completed with a few extra decals on the shuttle compared to the original ship. Bay doors now have a wire latch to stop them from staying open.  

 

Paper parts that go to making the mobile platform. 

Start on making the mobile platform to base the model on.
