Revell 04736 Space Shuttle Discovery & Booster Rockets 1:144 Scale Unbuilt/Unpainted Plastic Model Kit, Multi-color, 59.5 x 36.4 x 6.5 centimetres

Product Information

The clear parts look ok, although showing their age with again excess flash to remove. Space Shuttle… The box artwork is usually very good and it’s decent enough here showing a Boeing 747 SCA climbing out of Seattle (maybe). Let’s go inside… The bay doors have slightly chunky toy-like hinges, and separate parts to represent the solar panels that provide the vehicle with electric power while it is in space. The two doors are clipped in place using the flexibility of the plastic, and they can be left loose if you wish, leaving an antenna at full-width across the bay. If you wish to close the doors, that part should be cut down to 65mm to ensure it doesn’t foul the closure. Another figure in a space suit making a wide, expansive gesture with their left hand is included to be placed anywhere you like, really. In approach and landing test flights conducted in 1977, a test shuttle was released from an SCA during flight and glided to a landing under its own control The Revell Kit… There are two mouldings of this legendary space craft in this scale, and this one has some extra detail in the shape of raised lines of insulation tiles on the underside and the large "blankets" on the upper surfaces of the big delta wings. Additional detail is present on the opening bay doors, flying (gliding?) surfaces, Reaction Control System (RCS) housings and the rear thruster bells. Raised detail is also present on the rear bulkhead onto which the main engine bells attach, which is a welcome addition, as these looked very blank on the other tooling I have in my stash.

It’s an old kit, but as we’re unlikely to get a new one any time soon, it’s about the best we’re going to get for the foreseeable future. There is a good quantity of detail included, a really nice decal sheet, and those raised tile lines. It will still require care during the build process however, as it is a big kit made of large and sometimes flexible parts. Take it slow and steady however, and you will end up with an excellent replica of this awe-inspiring part of space exploration history. If you’re going to go crazy and super-detail it, there are a great deal of options open to you. Get your wallet ready! The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) are two extensively modified Boeing 747 airliners that NASA used to transport Space Shuttle orbiters. One is a 747-100 model, while the other is a short range 747-100SR.

All you can learn about the Revell brand

Revell makes plastic models available in a wide variety of combinations of classic, replica or fictional models. All you can learn about the Revell brand Who is the manufacturer Revell? As a transportation agency connecting the Earth and the universe, the space shuttle which the American NASA (Aerospace Authority) started development in 1972. In 1981, a total of 135 launches were carried out from the successful launch of Unit 1 Colombia for the first launch to the retirement in 2011, including various experiments in the installed space lab (space laboratory), multipurpose replenishment He contributed to space development by performing various missions such as construction of the International Space Station (ISS) using modules, emission of space telescope and satellites, etc. As you can see from this photo of the manufacturer’s model, it makes up into an impressive piece. Sprues and more sprues…

Quite a bit of excess flash is formed around most parts that will need to be cleaned up and removed to ensure the best fit possible. BR/>Height (inches) : 44

Scale : 1:144
The 1:144 scale is mainly used for large aircraft models (airliners, bombers, etc.). A plane in the 1:144 scale is 144 times smaller than the actual aircraft. For example, if the plane is 60 m long, then the model will measure 1 foot and 5 inches / 41.66 cm in length (6000/144 = 41.66).
Paint and glue : To be bought separately
The tools, paints and glue are not provided. You can see our selection with the essential glues and paints or the full range.. As you’d expect with a project like this it’s mostly lots of solar panels and capsules that all join together in a complex assembly to create the complete ISS. The ISS programme is a joint project among five participating space agencies: NASA, Roscosmos, JAXA, ESA, and CSA. The ownership and use of the space station is established by intergovernmental treaties and agreements. The station is divided into two sections, the Russian Orbital Segment (ROS) and the United States Orbital Segment (USOS), which is shared by many nations. As of January 2014, the American portion of ISS was funded until 2024. Roskosmos has endorsed the continued operation of ISS through 2024, but have proposed using elements of the Russian Orbital Segment to construct a new Russian space station called OPSEK.The Space Shuttle is probably one of the most recognised air and space vehicles on this planet, so I won't go into raptures over its proud history, or the two tragic losses of ships and crew during its long and illustrious career. This year marks the 40th Anniversary of the first flight of the first shuttle, the eventually ill-fated Colombia, on 12th April 1981, so it's not surprising to see that Revell have rereleased their large-scale kit again. This kit is pretty fairly priced and will make up into an impressive model that has size and in that NASA 747 SCA scheme could look impressive. Clear parts… The Revell color line contains a color palette to give a realistic effect to most miniature models: Models and Hobbies 4U has been helping hobbyists of all skills find their next best toy and hobby project since 1983. Our owner, Chris Hale, has expert experience in all sorts of models and provides the best recommendations based on your interests! Basically, if you are into 1.144 scale modelling, then this kit is worth a look. There will never be a huge choice of Boeing 747 or its derivatives like the SCA available at any point so this one looks like it could prove popular. If you’re prepared to spend some time being patient with your prep and spray work you can get good results from these older-tooled kits.

Set of six types of space shuttle aircraft marks including the prototype enterprise. We prepare the initial type and the final type meter panel, the final exterior panel etc at the decalThe Space Shuttle Atlantis in 1:144 scale brings outer space right into your home. With 64 detailed parts and a length of 252 mm and a wingspan of 167 mm, you can assemble a piece of space history yourself. Recommended for fans of modeling ages 10 and up, this kit of the world's only reusable NASA space transportation system is a real highlight. Scope of delivery: Revell model kits are available from all good toy and model retailers. For further information visit

The components feature raised panel lines on the fuselage and this may not impress all of you, and detail as you’d expect with an older moulding is not as fine as, say, the newer kits from this manufacturer. Recessed panel lined are moulded into the wings and tailplane (and Shuttle). The recessed panels are a bit deep to say the least, but maybe not too bad. The type is certainly impressive as you can see from the video at the start of this review, so this project is all going to be about fine preparation and that finished paint job – immaculate!It can be assembled by choosing the last flight of July 2011 and the first flight of the space shuttle The Revell star wars model is the most fashionable when it comes to the brand's spaceship models. This achievement recalls the unprecedented moments of the world-famous saga. Thus, it is possible to relive Star Wars and its various episodes through the replicas faithful to revell's originals.
