Honour the half-failed first mission of CST-100 Starliner

**** Re-opened old thread****



Although yesterdays mission, the first orbital testflight, was half a failure I still believed it was time to do a little honour to it!

The one and only papermodel I know of the Starliner is the design by Ton Noteboom. I never downloaded it and unfortunatly his site is closed...
But some generous members here helped me out...


Still in 'original' colors as it should have looked in the first designs.
Underway it appeared the white is replaced by a light grey color for better isolation...


How a picture shows some gluestains much stronger then in realitity...


A simple model with no interior details. But it shows the 'character' of the real spaceship.


The inside of the engenie-bells should be darks-grey or even black. Is not provided in the kit but perhaps I add it myself later. Only visible when looking at the bottom, though...

Now waiting for the Atlas-V-rocket of this mission by Alfonso/AMX. I bet it will have the new coloring and the black (stabilisation-?)perforated ring.
