Compact 1/288 Shuttle Kit from Academy 12707

The Academy 12707 1/288 Space Shuttle with Booster Rockets kit brings a recognisable shuttle silhouette into a pocketable scale for enthusiasts. It focuses on the launch arrangement so builders can recreate the vehicle in display-ready form.

Historic Role and Miniature Accuracy

The shuttle served as a reusable crew transport to low Earth orbit and this small-scale model reflects its main structural cues. The 1/288 scale gives a clear likeness while keeping the assembly straightforward for dedicated modellers.

Model Building Appeal and Presentation

This plastic kit is suitable for collectors who need a compact exhibit piece. With careful painting and assembly it becomes a useful reference model as well as an attractive shelf item.

Does the kit include any marking sheets?

There are no factory-supplied markings in this kit; many modellers buy aftermarket decals for added accuracy and mission-specific insignia.

Are replacement parts available?

Spare parts depend on the supplier; small parts can sometimes be repaired or recreated with modelling putty if needed.

What finish gives the best display result?

A light primer followed by thin layers of model paint produces crisp panel lines; a matte or satin clear coat preserves the look without glare.

Is this model easy to transport once built?

Because of its small size it is relatively easy to move, but protect delicate parts like boosters with foam padding when transporting the finished model.
