Hello everybody,
today, still a supplement to the
3D-Intertanks.
Meanwhile,
Michael Key still also offers a further modified
Airfix-IT. And that is the
Early SLWT, which was flown since the
STS-91 (ET-96), which here is presented in the new
Shapeways Design.

For this he only needed to modify a few details on my previous IT,
which he thankfully has done too.
Here once again the front side with the
26 Integral Ribs and the
7 Circumferential Ribs in the
Thrust Panels, etc.,
and here the back with the
Graphite Composite Access Door and the
Vent.
This configuration of the
Early SLWTs was flown up to the
STS-107 (Columbia disaster), starting with the
STS-114 the
PAL Ramps were omitted at the
Late SLWTs, and from
STS-122 then also the
7 Circumferential Ribs.
There are now three versions of the
Airfix IT (1:144), my
Early LWT, which is now on its way to me, and next to the
Early SLWT also the
Late SLWT, all of which can be found
here both in
WSF as well in
FUD.
