I've had a request to customize the shuttle from Moonraker.  The base kit is a 1/100 scale Tamiya kit.  This kit was modeled after the shuttle prototype "Enterprise" and was actually produced before the first shuttle flew.  This dates the kit about the same time "Moonraker" was released.

 

I've spent the weekend assembling the kit.  I've mounted the shuttle on a dow rod, adjusted the display angle and poured a block of resin into the cargo hold to secure the dow.

 

Overall the kit has good fit, but seems were a major pain  where the wings meet the main body.  It took several layers of putty and a lot of sanding to get them to finally vanish.
