The spacecraft of the day at 1/220!

[group b]

A wonderful collection of Russian technology.
I'm just trying to put together a model of the Progress M SO-1 PIRS rocket. PIRS is a module of the ISS space station used for docking Russian spacecraft. I'll try to build. If he succeeds, I will send it to you and I will be happy if it becomes part of your collection. It just takes more time.

Thank you group B.


Something promised, something due!
Here is the representation of the R7 launcher of the Progress M.
It's basically a Soyuz without the rescue tower on top of the rocket.
Modified Mars center model.

An R7 that I chose for its original shape (Type 11A510 US).
In this form, it was used to put into orbit the prototypes of the US-A oceanic reconnaissance satellites designed to track large American ships. These satellites were then launched by the Tsiklon 2.
These satellites incorporated a small atomic reactor, and debris from one of them contaminated an area of Canada following a poorly controlled re-entry.
Modified Scissorsandplanes model.

Sunday Special for a recent news item.
On May 25th, Virgin Orbit tested a new launcher for small satellites: the Launcher One. It has the particularity of being launched from a plane in flight (a 747). Unfortunately, the rocket's engine stopped a few seconds after ignition and it was lost!
To be redone!

Little reminder: in a previous post, I presented the Gaia probe to you.
Now here is the Soyuz rocket (version 2 ST with Fregat stage) which launched Gaia on December 19, 2013 from Kourou.











I temporarily stop this small series, at least in the daily version, having plunged back into the 1/72 aircraft models. But this is just a "goodbye" ...

This last model is your mod I'm guessing.

Do we get to admire (or ogle at ) your 1:72 aircraft as well? I know I'm interested.

Of course I know of this build.I follow monsieur Kytop posts,maybe a little chaotically but I do

I was wondering if he does plastic kits as well.

[Jan Kytop]

Thank you for your comments.
You can see some of my plastic and resin models 1/72 airplanes (together with paper models; guess which one is plastic, paper, resin, or vacuformed), here:
My small airfield in 1/72
All my 1/72 gliders at a show

Small comparison between the first American manned capsule and the last one.
The model represents the Redstone rocket surmounted by the Mercury capsule (here the Liberty Bell 7 capsule of Gus Grissom, second American astronaut in space but not yet in orbit, July 21, 1961).
