Japanese H-IIB - Launcher for HTV

How I have written in this thread

The International Space Station Thread

I have found a easy model of this rocket, which is the launcher for the HTV-moduls of the ISS.

I have build this now and have made any little "tunings". Look for the result....
When I see any pic, which I have found in the web, sun grabs me the pleasure to build the Launchpad....

Very nice, Michael. I like those golden strips. It's a nice touch that gives the rocket a little extra zest, I think.

I have started to design the launchpad....
There are any pics and especially videos in the web, where you can see many details....
It's not the claim to be an exactly reflection, that cannot be, because I have no exactly dimensions, but it should be a model with affinity include artistic freedom, for example the holdings of the rocket are from Greelt's Saturn V base....

I have made any new parts, that is the actually situation....

Truly impressive work sir.

Michael, as a fellow launch pad model designer (and guy named Michael), your work always just makes me happy!

Thank you for compliments....

Any new pics, I have started the towers (at first the left) and the railings...

Wow! That's not an attempt to just have a less boring stand any more. This is a very nice and detailed platform, Michael. The details on the pad easily surpass those of your H-II. I think it's very good looking.

Thank you, PK.

Now I have finished the "twin towers"....
It's a hard work to cut out all the holes...but it's a good look...
Now I have to build the trucks...

Very impressive!
