1/72 Monogram Shuttle

--------------------

 

This is my Monogram 1/72 scale Shuttle kit (Orbiter).  Depicted as OV099 'Challenger' It took me about a year to complete this project. I used RealSpace Models resin SSME (Space Shuttle Main Engine) set and also the decals.

The rest is custom made decals, especially the tiles. The model represent Challenger in her early career before her ill-fated mission STS 51L in  which she was destroyed after lift off.

I did a few modifications and corrections to make the model accurate,  otherwise fit is perfect.

 Hope you enjoy the pictures!
