1:72 Space Shuttle
« on: 13 Jun , 2013, 02:02 »
Revell /Monogram (re)released two 1:72 shuttles last year. AMP have a window set for any space buffs.

These are easy-to-glue PLASTIC sets, in white styrene with clear panes. They are multi-layer just like the full size real ones. Designed from the 1,160 page NASA document, Shuttle Crew Operations Manual

Rokket,
I had built the first monogram release at the time (the 80s). A beautiful, big kit, all cast in white plastic, which also contained the spacelab, astronauts and a decal sheet with all the shuttle names and markings for the different missions planned!
Well done w the window set, it looks beautiful!

I built one too, couldn't resist. Still have it. Added tiles (pattern from a Time magazine) by scribing thin sheet plastic. Cool for high school, not so great now.

Memories.
