A pretty ambitious project:

You read my mind, David.
As a matter of fact I am working on the scale for this Shuttle. This is a 6.5 meter long and 1 meter in diameter (fuselage). That's only the Shuttle and not the booster. So, I'm planning to make it large enough for those guys out there that like to launch rockets, so it can be modified to fit an apogee engine.
I haven't made any measurements yet, but I may use a 1:32 scale here.

There's no diagrams out there, only photos.
Any feedback, guys?

I believe this launch is only a 25% scale model of the eventual 2030s version they are planning. This tech demo was a suborbital launch to test the aero forces on the bottom of the shuttle.

Once this system is flying, it is supposed also act a reusable second stage, attached to a flyback first stage with deployable wings, which is already pretty awesome.

I would think 1/32nd scale would be fine, or even 1/24th. Delta 7 Studio's Gemini and Mercury capsules are 1/24th.

And, yeah, I did a quick internet search and while I see some photos and artist renderings, I've yet to see any good three-views or detail drawings.

I have chosen the scale for this model. It's a 1:24.
Here's the booster. Still needs the bottom part that carries the single engine and fins. That's next.

Here's the booster compared to an SRB in 1:96 scale. It's big.

The booster lacks the Hindu characters that go on the other side. Unfortunately there no hi-res photo that shows all the lettering. Hopefully someone who knows the language can assist here. I'm pretty sure is the word INDIA in hindi. The other word might be RLV TD. Not sure.

The easy part is practically done. I'm working on the Shuttle now. A few more days.
