SCALE - Delta IV Gallery

This is Delta IV `s (Carl Campbell) kit offering of the Delta IV Medium 5+4 .This is a great ,museum quality scale kit ,one you probably won`t see too often.Not the easiest kit to build (I love a challenge) but not the most difficult either .This is one of those kits ,once you start building it,you can`t put it down ,and because of the self adhesive wraps, there is not much to paint (great for those of us up North ,who must paint in the basement of the house)

Delta IV is an active expendable launch system in the Delta rocket family. Delta IV uses rockets designed by Boeing's Integrated Defense Systems division and built in the United Launch Alliance (ULA) facility in Decatur, Alabama. Final assembly is completed at the launch site by ULA. The rockets were designed to launch payloads into orbit for the United States Air Force Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program and commercial satellite business. Delta IV rockets are available in five versions: Medium, Medium+ (4,2), Medium+ (5,2), Medium+ (5,4), and Heavy, which are tailored to suit specific payload size and weight ranges. Delta IV was primarily designed to satisfy the needs of the U.S. military.

The rockets are assembled at the Horizontal Integration Facility for launches from SLC-37B at Cape Canaveral, and in a similar facility for launches from SLC-6 at Vandenberg AFB.

Mfg. Description: This kit is an approximate 1/78th scale of the United Launch Alliance’s Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV). This kit of the Delta IV Medium 5+4 configuration has 4 boosters that can be either captive or separating powered with 18mm motors. The kit employs clear acrylic fins that are mounted on the aft of the airframe (normal placement) that make them almost invisible during launch and fly out.

This is a kit for the experienced builder. Adhesive wraps are provided to simulate some of the smaller external details and the foam on the fuel tanks. Please note, this is a sport scale model, some actual details are modified from the real rocket in order to accommodate extra durability for many flights. (DFR 2011 Web Ad)
