The Space Shuttle's Ready to fly!
Here it is on the bench of my hobby room, after 54 steps in the instruction guide, all ready to fly! The black fins are for flight only; the round disks in the right foreground snap into the bottom of the solid rocket boosters (white tubes on either side) for display.
Please note the detail on the shuttle itself (it's all decals, of course, but I think it looks pretty nice!). The shuttle is supposed to detach from the main rocket at apogee (the top of its flight), and glide down separately! Stay tuned....

Maiden launch October 11th, 1999 was a success.
Launched once using a C6-3 engine and once with C5-3.
