This kit has been around for years now and as such, it won't be the most detailed kit and will require some patience and can-do ability. We have come a long way in injection-moulded kits! With many of the older kits, you will find that some bits don’t line up perfectly either. You will require some tools to do this including some paints (not supplied).The best part? This is quite a sizable kit and comes with a lot of transfers which can hide some crimes and give the kit some clean edges. It has all of the different designs (Endeavour, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis & Enterprise… I think that’s all of them?). I would decide which you want and look up some pictures of the era you would like.

Superb construction kit! I built the Airfix 1:144 scale Shuttle many years ago but this is a far more satisfactory model! Using the model "crawler" as a display stand gives the finished model a much more reallistic look!Couple of minor faults: some of the parts have excess flash that needs removing and the main fuel tank parts didn't mate unaided.Some filling may be required where the shuttle body halves meet and also the wing mountingsThe cargo hold detailing is great with payload and manipulating arm.Definitely not one for the kids, despite being described as 10+, it would make a good father-son project you could knock it together in a single sitting; but be prepared to spend a good 7 to 10

I have built many kits recently - mostly space themed. I do find Revell kits far superior to Airfix at the moment. However, this kit is previous to the later kits (50th anniversary kits) and is not quite as good. The quality is acceptable and the finish not bad, although, as with all kits the more effort you put in, the better the result - no model should be rushed or it will be disappointing. The instructions are also below Revells usual high standard, but are still acceptable and with a little forward reading, easily understandable.Overall I would recommend this kit, but for real quality buy something from the new range (50th anniversary - black boxes). 4 out of 5 is fair and you will enjoy,

This model kit is awesome and massive! Got this to build in lockdown with my son and we enjoyed every bit, it’s relatively easy to assemble although you need a little patience as the parts needed some prep work before they could be assembled or painted (i find this a lot with revell models) the instructions were nice and clear and i like the way you get decals to make it into any of the 4 space shuttles (we chose the Discovery) i would highly reccomend this to any space or model fan but remeber when its built its almost 44cm high! Oh and a great service from amazon £10 cheaper than everyone else and arrived in 3 days.

I bought this as an passing amusement for my 4 yr old, you know, assemble the toy rocket, let them play with it until they tire of it etc. Well the combined efforts of 1 father and 2 grandfathers over a weekend were required to assemble it to a satisfactory standard and my 4 yr old didn't get a look in.On reflection not really a toy at all, more of a serious endeavour for mature minds, and if, like us, you can't find any of those you might remember how much fun model kits are. Top stuff.

great kit - ive built the Atlantis version of the 1 to 144 orbiter and this is the entire launch stack at the same scale. tracked it all across France then up the length of UK and finally landed!! I knew it would take time as it was in the south of France during a pandemic but Amazon kept me informed of its 'flight' - good price and well-packaged safe delivery - Discovery, go for throttle up!!!

Fabulous Toy was given as a gift to a 32 year old and he was really pleased with his birthday present. I would highly recommend this product. The only thing that you have to be aware of is that you have to buy the paints separate. Something that I wasn't aware of as I am not a model enthusias.

The space shuttle model requires some work if you want to get rid of the burrs and the evidence of the halves joins. Nothing that a primer paint and a sandpaper can't solve. The bay doors will take some work to have them closing perfectely. Overall, a good base model to build upon.

brilliant. The detail in the transfers are great. everything about it is brill. really fun to build and goes great when attached to the revells ISS 1:144 scale. I'v bought 3 and each one gets better, Be carefull with the SRB's when attaching it to the main fuel tank

nice kit, but as with all models, takes time and patience. i certainly didn't do mine in a day, that's for sure (but's that's the joy of model making). The decals are crisp, but need a steady hand with some of them, especially the ones on the boosters.

This is a brilliant model kit if you love the shuttle like me, a bargain price compared to hobby shops and the mouldings are really great, very accurate and not much sanding etc needed.

Really nice kit when complete, does take a bit of work though, part fit isnt the best, so will need your sanders and filler ready! but when done and painted it really does look great

a great model ,,will take time to assemble and paint ,,paint and glue do not come with it ,bit of a shame ,also its not a toy more of a static display item

I assume this model is accurate, but I found it difficult to interpret the drawings (I was draughtsman) And I found the painting and tranfers fiddly.
