ESA 1/96 Vega/IXV launch vehicle
First off the workbench in 2019 -- my model of Alfonso's 1/96 ESA Vega launch vehicle. This particular Vega launched the Intermediate Experimental Vehicle (IXV), a small atmospheric reentry space plane, on February 11, 2015.
Only change from the kit was using a plastic nose cone at the tip of the payload shroud. I love card models, but they don't replicate compound curves as well as plastic models do. The six tiny retrothrusters and the small structures on either side were difficult to form, but they look kindasorta OK on the model. Alfonso has posted several different Vega LVs at EUROPE - AXM Paper Space Scale Models.com Les (The Voices of Authority -- coming in 2019) |
