![]() ![]() A Bandai 1:144 ISS would no doubt be very impressive, but with finish and detail consistent with their current releases, I have to believe such a release would also come with a solid four-digit price tag.Ī Buran-Energia stack would certainly look impressive, but in a historical context it doesn't seem relevant enough to be produced as part of a series like this. Then I could finally have a set of the US manned spacecraft and launch vehicles in the same scale.īeyond that. I am sure that Bandai would do an excellent job if they took this project at hand.īandai, bring on the Saturn 1b, Mercurys and Gemini!!!Īs another satisfied owner of both the Endeavour and Saturn V, my first preference for the next edition would be a set of 1:144 Mercury-Redstone, Mercury-Atlas, Gemini-Titan II, and Apollo-Saturn 1B. I have no idea what they are planning but if they do the ISS I am sure I would be one of the first to order one. ![]() Topic: What's next for Bandai's Otona No Chogokin?ĭoes anyone know if Bandai is planning an ISS, or maybe something else in their Otona No Chogokin line? Profile | register | preferences | faq | search What's next for Bandai's Otona No Chogokin? () I highly recommend this product for any shuttle fan who wants the very best detailed Space Shuttle model.What's next for Bandai's Otona No Chogokin? - collectSPACE: Messages The "tail cone" covers the back of the orbiter's main engines so that there is smooth airflow around orbiter when it is flown on the back of the 747. Also, to make it authentic looking on 747, the "tail cone" would have to be included with the 747. Would like manufacturer to make other accessories such as the SCA (Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (747)) so that one could mount the shuttle model on top of the 747. Main stand comes with three lights so that one can illuminate the shuttle on the stand just as the real shuttle is illuminated on the launch pad.Īs an extra bonus model came with a separate crew mobile and crew men. I didn't want to pull too hard because I didn't want to damage model. ![]() Instructions left out one step, but there was an additional piece of paper to amend instructions, but even with that extra step found it difficult to get payload bay doors open without nicking white paint on top of payload bay door centerline because I used finger nail to pry open door.Īlso, I was not able to remove top of crew cabin to reveal flight deck and then the mid-deck. Other problem was getting payload bay doors open. Was able to follow drawings to assemble various accessories. Only problems I had was that instructions are in Japanese. Can also display with shuttle in SRB separation mode and External Tank separation mode, as well as landing/landed mode with landing gear extended! No parachute though!. Several different stands are provided to display the shuttle in launch configuration, in flight configuration with open payload bay doors, with payload inside or being held by the remote manipulator robotic arm. Snap on Solid Rocket Boosters that are detachable! Detachable External Tank. Better than any "American" made model of the Space Shuttle I have seen for sale on Internet.Īll parts are moveable, i.e., wing flaps, rudder, landing gear, payload bay doors with cargo to be placed inside.Įxternal Tank umbilical doors open and close in order to mount orbiter on external tank.Ĭrew compartment removable top to see flight deck and also the mid-deck.
