Hasegawa 10729 1/200 Shuttle Orbiter with Boosters Scale Kit

The Hasegawa 10729 1/200 Space Shuttle Orbiter with Boosters offers a compact, accurate representation of the shuttle and its booster stage. The kit focuses on overall shape fidelity and straightforward part fit to create a neat finished model.

Period Importance and Model Accuracy

The shuttle programme was a major chapter in crewed flight history, and this kit reflects key visual elements like the orbiter form and booster configuration. The result is a small-scale tribute suitable for historical display or study.

Construction Tips and Visual Finishing

Parts are intended to assemble cleanly, enabling model makers to devote time to seam treatment, paint application and decal alignment. A careful paint scheme will enhance the shuttle's characteristic look and make it stand out on a shelf.

How long does assembly usually take?

Assembly time varies with skill and finishing level; expect several evenings for a tidy build including preparation, painting and decals.

Is masking required for painting?

Yes, masking is recommended for clean colour separations, especially around the orbiter nose, wings and booster joints to get sharp paint edges.

Can I display the model vertically or only horizontally?

A horizontal display is simplest, but with a custom stand you can recreate a launch stance. Ensure joints are secure before attempting vertical mounts.

What common finishing mistakes should I avoid?

Avoid thick paint coats that obscure fine detail and rushing decal application. Take time to prep surfaces and use thin, even paint layers for best results.
