Next up in today's "Finish the half-built models":
I finally finished up the Dr. Zooch Shuttle. I want to clear out the "half-built" box and this was the next one up.
I started it about a year ago and set it aside after trying to form the Orbiter nose. As I usually do, I'd scanned the wraps and this time printed off 3 more Shuttle nose patterns. I glued together all three and picked the one that fit best over the front of the Payload Bay body.
I realize the External Tank color is probably a little too dark. The color of the spray can cap seemed lighter than what came out of the can.
I've yet to add the elastic over the elevator. It's going to be a tight fit getting the elevator elastic around the nozzles, but it's do-able.
With a needle nose file, three small holes were drilled into the back of Spar #5 for the (optional) nozzles. This gave a stronger TTW hold instead of just surface mounting.
It'll fly down the road - I have too many others to get in the air.
