This is our
Space Shuttle Challenger model. We made it according to the photos taken
shortly before its tragic last mission. So this model represents exactly
the state of Challenger with SRBs and external tank as could be seen
before the start on 28th January 1986.

The Hasegawa kit is
superb and very accurate. Despite that fact we made some improvements
especially in the section where SRBs are mounted to the external tank.
Another problem seems to be its size, it's very hard to make it highly
detailed in this scale. But it depends on personal preferences.
However,
we tried to make as many details as possible.
Colors are from Model
master and Revell. Decals are from the kit and several simple decals were hand
made.
This model is in memory of all
seven astronauts who perished during the STS-51L mission. We hope you like
our model.
