What's great is that most of his 1/100 models are detailed enough to be easily resized even to scales as big as 1:48 (What I build in) with little to no loss in detail.

Most excellent info, because I'll probably scale Mir up to 1/72.

Right now I believe his plans are just the orbiter so that it can be attached to the ISS 1:100. This doesn't mean he won't eventually get to the stack but it is quite large in the 1:144 scale.

Thanks Aaron. Indeed, only the orbiter for now. The stack will be for later.

Tentatively the russian vessels are to be released next week.

Cant wait for the soyuz, seems more better than the current one that came with your Salyut 6

Wait, will the soyuz be in 1:200 or 1:144?

Will it also include a movable arm and/or KU band antenna?

[nope]

Hey, any date when the Soyuz and progress will come out?

[Spaceguy5]

1-100 Soyuz and Progress are out now <3 Can't wait to build 'em!

Oh joy! And they look very good! I wonder how they are going to look in 1/400!
Thanks Alfonso!

Resolved: We give Alfonso the title of "Chief Designer," a la Sergey Korolyov!
