Internal mechanics such as the Reaction Control System (RCS) are also replicated in full detail. From workable maintenance arms in the pilot bay, to workable airbrakes and landing gear, and down to meticulous mid-deck and flight deck depiction, nothing is left out. Replicated in diecast and resin compound material for weight and unsurpassed precision, set includes a vast assortment of parts and display accessories in the most ambitious replication to date. Following this launch will be a December 2010 release of the SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR.

You just can't put into words how awesome this model looks on display. This model is fully complete and in mint condition. We have a few of these left direct from the manufacturer and open the boxes just to verify that everything is present and correct and that there is no damage anywhere. space shuttle Endeavour 39-centimeter (15.3-inches) long, 1-kilogram (2.2 pound) model, complete with Shuttle Stack Here is the truly amazing and very rare Bandai Space Shuttle Endeavour complete with Astronaut Bus and Astronauts. I highly recommend this product for any shuttle fan who wants the very best detailed Space Shuttle model.Bandai Otona No Chogokin Space Shuttle Endeavour 1/144 OV-105 NASA Bandai zinc alloy 1/144 scale model of the U.S. The "tail cone" covers the back of the orbiter's main engines so that there is smooth airflow around orbiter when it is flown on the back of the 747. Also, to make it authentic looking on 747, the "tail cone" would have to be included with the 747. Would like manufacturer to make other accessories such as the SCA (Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (747)) so that one could mount the shuttle model on top of the 747.
Main stand comes with three lights so that one can illuminate the shuttle on the stand just as the real shuttle is illuminated on the launch pad.Īs an extra bonus model came with a separate crew mobile and crew men. I didn't want to pull too hard because I didn't want to damage model. Instructions left out one step, but there was an additional piece of paper to amend instructions, but even with that extra step found it difficult to get payload bay doors open without nicking white paint on top of payload bay door centerline because I used finger nail to pry open door.Īlso, I was not able to remove top of crew cabin to reveal flight deck and then the mid-deck. Other problem was getting payload bay doors open. Was able to follow drawings to assemble various accessories. Only problems I had was that instructions are in Japanese. Can also display with shuttle in SRB separation mode and External Tank separation mode, as well as landing/landed mode with landing gear extended! No parachute though!. Several different stands are provided to display the shuttle in launch configuration, in flight configuration with open payload bay doors, with payload inside or being held by the remote manipulator robotic arm. Snap on Solid Rocket Boosters that are detachable! Detachable External Tank.
