And a new one (well, a new variant)

This is the LM-2C/SD, the variant that launched a pair of Iridium satellites. With two tiny iridiums in 1/96 scale. Complete interstage detail! I'll be offering this one with the CZ-2C I showed earlier in the thread in one kit.

Coming real soon: a bunch more CZ-2's, 3's, and 4's, all with this level of detail.

Yep. Turns out any particular Long March 2, 3, or 4 uses one of three possible lengths of first stage, two possible second stage lengths, and one of three third stages. (more if we're talking solids under the payload faring, but I'm talking visible structure.) Then two slightly different strap-on boosters. Create those ten units, You've got 95% of the variants. I'll probably do most of the major versions.

Wow! the detail inside is wonderful in that Long March. Great job, Mark! Where will we be able to find it? Ecardmodels?

That's where it will be.

Thank you! I'm thinking all my space launcher kits from here out will have this level of detail, with interior structure, better engine detail, separable stages, and a payload. I may go back and rework some of my older kits to this standard.
