Ran across this in the store the other day. They appear to be about 3" – 3.5" long, so would be good for 6mm – 12mm, and possibly even as a small shuttle for 15mm troops. Price was around $3.50 USD, or so. |

Hmm…looks like it'll scale out a bit below 1/288, in which a lot of Shuttle models are available… *eyes project piles* …could be useful…thanks for the heads-up!

Yes, I think 6mm seems best, but still, you could assume it is a much smaller, follow-on variant, like the current testbed they are flying now. To get around the launch issues, they mount this smaller one on the nose of a rocket, so ice from the booster can't damage the shuttle's tiles. |
