Dragon Models 1/144 Nasa Space Shuttle "

This 1/144 scale plastic model kit of the Space Shuttle Discovery attached to a Boeing 747 is the first kit Dragon offered of the famous Space Shuttle! From 1981 to 2011, these innovative spacecraft were a permanent fixture in the annals of space exploration and the public watched NASA's fleet of five manned space vehicles (Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavor) regularly blasting into space. In its 30-year operational lifespan, the Space Shuttle fleet performed 135 missions. Until recently there were two NASA Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) in existence, their cabins stripped, fuselages strengthened, engines improved and vertical fins added to their tail wings. They were used to "shuttle" the Shuttle fleet from the landing sites back to the Kennedy Space Center or to other long-range destinations.
