1:16th Scale Space Shuttle Flight deck

Hi Tonino,

The detail level and quality at this large scale is astonishing! And the precision with which you assemble the carefully cut parts also is.

I look forward to seeing more from this interesting build. Will you also try to replicate the approximate coloring of the flight deck (controls, monitors and displays, window shades, etc, etc)? And - are there parts for the lower deck as well? I can see that the openings (behind the seats in the aft section) are already cut out.

I have Thorstens parts downloaded and I am thinking about attempting something similar. I also have an ongoing (forever, it seems) build of the Marscenter Atlantis shuttle, upscaled to 1:32 and laser printed on shiny white cardboard (with scanned parts from the Czech Betexa Raketoplán Atlantis model), all in the same 1:32 scale.

Thanks for sharing the highly interesting photos - it's like peering in through the windows of the real thing!

All the best to you from Stockholm,
Bengt
