Hasegawa 10730 - 1/200 Space Shuttle Orbiter Model Notes

The Hasegawa 10730 Space Shuttle Orbiter is a 1/200 scale plastic kit that faithfully captures the orbiter's external form. It is a suitable project for modellers who enjoy neat assembly and paint finishing.

Context and Design Fidelity

The Space Shuttle fleet left a notable legacy in crewed flight and this kit mirrors the orbiter's iconic outline. It provides a compact way to represent a significant period in aerospace history.

Construction Considerations and Display

Hasegawa's detail level gives plenty to work with when cleaning up seams and painting. With careful assembly the finished model presents well on a shelf or in a display case.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/200
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Optional for enhanced realism

Is the Hasegawa 10730 suitable for an intermediate modeller?

Yes, it sits well at an intermediate level. Parts fit is generally good, but seam work and careful painting will reward the modeller.

Do I need special tools to apply the decals?

Typical decal tools such as tweezers, a soft brush and decal solution help with placement and conformance to curves. A final varnish will protect the decals.

Can the kit be weathered for a more authentic look?

Yes, light washes and subtle weathering techniques can add realism without obscuring the fine moulded detail. Proceed sparingly for the best effect.
