Academy 1/288 Space Shuttle and Booster Rockets Kit
The exploration of space is mankind's last great adventure. With man's first steps on the moon, the future of the Earth was changed forever. However the first rockets to be designed for space travel could only be used once. This was extremely costly and it would soon become impractical to continue space trips in such a wasteful manner. In 1972, NASA, America's space agency, began development of a reusable spaceship, calling it a Space Shuttle. This rocket plane can be launched on the back of a huge 154 foot long tank, using two booster rockets and its own three engines to climb into space. The Shuttle itself is as large as a jetliner, and can carry a crew of seven plus a large payload. Completely loaded, the Shuttle, payload and launch tanks weight 4,500,000 lbs. A fleet of Space Shuttles has broadened our ability to develop activities in space. Now satellites can be launched directly from a Shuttle, and soon they will be used for carrying sections of the future space station into orbit to use as a launching point for deep space exploration. Ages 10 and up.

The model kit was missing decals.
It is a great addition to my space collection. Good size.
Its a nice little model
It assembles well, no misplaced pins. But! The shuttle wing bottoms have a trapezoidal detail scribed on them that belongs on the *top* of each wing (oops). The OMS motors are bizarrely out of scale, visibly undersized. There are cutouts for flight-deck windscreens but no windscreens provided. The SRBs and ET are preattached and in two big halves, tricky to cement. The SRBs are noticably out of round especially at the nosecones. The shuttle attachment bipods are modeled solid, and the intertank's ribbed, hat-section stringer detail is provided as a nonscale decal. The model doesn't balance on the provided stand, so you either need to modify the stand to lengthen its mounts or glue the model down. NB The shuttle in this kit is shared with the sister Enterprise + B747 ... MoreIt assembles well, no misplaced pins. But!

NB The shuttle in this kit is shared with the sister Enterprise + B747 Transporter kit, and it provides parts used by that sister kit. So you get a tailcone, a set of B747 attachments and even the "barndoor" stabilizers for the B747's tail.
Great detail, easy assembly a quality product.
lots of fun and easy to build. No glue required. Thanks
