Starting the AXM Shuttle with Booster Rockets

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

It looks like you are off to a good start! I am looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

 

[Revell-Fan]

Very nice!

 

[Chuffy70]

I'm sure everyone will boost your build right along

Front and underside

 

[Chuffy70]

You have tempted me to have a go at a Shuttle - good going so far

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

You are making great progress on this project!

Very nice!

No collection of Big E's is complete without the Orbiter. With the aerodynamic rear cover in place she is a very photogenic bird.

I had the good fortune to see her in person, atop the transporter 747 at Kelly AFB in the late 70's

That must have been something to see!

Do you mean the rear cover in this build?

Yes, the rear fairing over the engine bells, it's main purpose was to make the back of the orbiter more aerodynamic during transport aboard the 747.

Today's update

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

I really like how this is coming together!

 

[AdmiralGR]

And she's done!

I used a tip I had picked up on here - i used waters colours to sort the "white" edging

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

IT looks REALLY GOOD!!!

 

[mijob]

You have done a great job on this one.

I love it! She was so beautiful too see IRL, even atop the transporter 747.
