Mobile Launcher Platform - 1:144 - Educraft

And now for something to put my space shuttle on: the Mobile Launcher Platform, scale 1:144 from Educraft (www.educraftdiversions.org). This kit comes printed on rather lightweight A3 card, and the structural parts will need strengthening.

Thanks so much for doing this. I was a little scared to start mine because I had never seen how it went together, I'm sure this will be very helpful!
Amazing!

Marco, I too have wanted to see a thread on this model. I will follow your progress with great interest.

Thank you! And I hope that one day I'll muster enough patience and courage to get started on the launch tower and service structure.
Here is the rest of the structural parts. Things will start to get fiddly from here.

Very amazing work!
I have build the Saturn V Lut also von EDU, in 1:96.
It's an interesting kind of building with fotorealistic parts....

Beautiful! I built the TVC-15 (Japan) LUT a few years ago, a pretty challenging build too.

I have all the Apollo TVC-15 kits as well but havn't had the time to build the LUT yet.Looking forward to it though,maybe over the next winter.Question to the group.I know TVC-15 published some Mercury kits a while back.Anyone here ever get their hands on one?I cant find a listing for them at Hobby Link Japan.

Michael - that is huge!

Marco - while I would never build one of these, they really fascinate me - so I will be watching your build with interest.

HLJ has only one Apollonia kit left in stock (Apollo 17 CM), and Apollonia doesn't have any other selling points for overseas orders. Pity, the Mercury models look fantastic: Mercury

SRB supports and hold-downs, and a test fit
