Overview of the Tamiya 60402 - 1/100 Space Shuttle Atlantis

Heritage and Construction Notes

At 1/100 scale, the kit focuses on accurate paneling and assembly fit, helping builders understand the orbiter's layout. Atlantis played a vital role in shuttle-era missions, and this build highlights those engineering details.

Functional Parts and How to Display

Included are newly moulded pieces for the mission loadout, including the "Raffaello" MPLM and the ODS for docking representation. The cargo bay supports removable cargo items, the main engine nozzles can be adjusted, and a display stand is provided for either runway-style or flight-mode presentation.

Build time varies with skill, but allow several evenings to a few weekends for careful assembly, painting and finishing at this scale.
The kit supplies accurate markings for Atlantis as used on its final mission; apply decals with setting solution for a flush appearance.
Yes, the removable cargo bay parts and stand make it straightforward to incorporate the model into a display or diorama representing launch or on-orbit operations.
Masking the white fuselage and using fine brushes or airbrushing for the black tiles yields the best contrast; consider panel shading for realism.
