Experience the thrill of aviation and discover the history of a well-known legend with this detailed Shuttle Carrier Aircraft model, featuring over 1500 pieces.
The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft was derived from a commercial airplane and was heavily modified to serve as a space shuttle carrier from 1977 to 2012. First-class seats were retained, but the main cabin and insulation were stripped to reduce weight, and the fuselage was strengthened.
It was first used with the Space Shuttle Enterprise for a test in 1977, during which the Space Shuttle was released from the aircraft for a successful gliding and landing procedure under its own control.
Assemble this impressive build that stretches to 70cm in length and boasts a wingspan of 50cm, providing a grand scale that captures the essence of the aircraft.
Equipped with four turbine engines and retractable landing gear, this model promises an engaging and realistic assembly process that will take your imagination to new heights.
