Ever since the first flight of the Space Shuttle on April 12 1981, we have all marveled and then become accustomed to the recurring launches of the Space Shuttle.  It was becoming thought of as a regular "bus service" to space.  On Jan 28 1986 and Feb 1 2003, we were reminded of the special and dangerous nature of the Space Shuttle missions.  This is a new 1/144 decal sheet from Cutting Edge Modelworks featuring markings for all 6 of the Space Shuttles. Now you can accurately capture the Space Shuttle and create it for your own.  This decal sheet contains enough markings to make 1 Space Shuttle model in 1/144 scale.  You have a choice of making any of the Space Shuttles (Atlantis, Challenger, Columbia, Discovery, Endeavour, Enterprise).  Cutting Edge has gone to the trouble of including 3 different decals for the crew access door.....depending of the tile pattern that surrounds the door on the particular shuttle and mission you are modeling.

 

 

The decals were flawlessly printed and the clear carrier film is trimmed very close to the crisply printed colored areas, which is always good to see.  The instructions are clear and an extra page of text instruction is included with a small bit of info about 1 of these planes.  NASA and the Space program has always fascinated me and it's quite satisfying to see the various Space Shuttle decals and resin items and painting masks available from Meteor Productions.

The 3 colored pages of instructions and 2 pages of black and white instructions will help you with all questions relating to installing these decals correctly.  Also included are decals for the solid rocket boosters.

A very nice product and highly recommended.
