The next step - the whole payload bay- starting from the front, I will slowly proceed to the rear. I have one more idea with the Intelsat... More info in a few weeks

Some progress here. Ku - band antenna is completed (not seen in the picture, the dish itself is safe in the box for now) and the electronics is hide in a little bit wider MPESS STOWAGE SUBSYSTEM. Not really realistic, but as good as I can hide it

I concur with @Revell-Fan. Beautiful build. It looks like a picture of the real orbiter.

I am working on the cradle with the reboost motor. (far from being completed) I needed to change the dimensions, so I can hide the batteries inside it. Guess what for after that, I need to figure out how to properly display it. You can also see the new stand. It arrived earlier today. The last thing is going to be the cargo bay doors. HopefiI will be ready on 16th of February for the show

right this is ridiculous now.....passing off the actual shuttle as your kit build is just silly......please tell me thats the real thing........ that is outstanding

 

[Revell-Fan]

Put this on a space background and it will look like a real image from NASA.
