Complete with a display stand, NASA nameplate, and two astronauts, the Space Shuttle with Fuel Tank and Boosters from Revell faithfully displays the amazing engineering behind this crowning achievement of space travel. While retired in 2011, the space shuttle has long been an amazing sight for those fortunate enough to see one launch, and now an accurate scale replica can be displayed in any space enthusiast’s home. Authentic NASA decals are included to detail the space shuttle model kit with markings from any of the six shuttles to take flight. Arrangements of particular decals, such as the American flag, are accurately identified based on time of production, so modelers have six complete decal diagrams to turn their shuttle into the Columbia, Challenger, Endeavor, and more.

A highly detailed instruction manual breaks down this complex skill level 3 model shuttle kit into manageable steps with a specific order of assembly within each step. Every part is identified by name with accompanying suggested paint colors for the most authentic appearance. An opening cargo bay gives admirers of the space shuttle model kit a great look at finer details, like the remote manipulator arm, and it offers modelers six options of how to configure the cargo bay. Payloads to shuttle into space include a space lab, pallet with telescope, air lock, and two types of satellites. When finished, the Space Shuttle with Fuel Tank and Boosters fits perfectly onto the molded black stand that holds it in preparation for blast off.
