SPACE IN MINIATURE

Scale: 1/288

This rocket came from the dawn of the space age. A Werner von Braun design for a three stage ferry rocket that would have placed payloads or a reusable shuttle into earth orbit. Designed to allow access to the heavens, this configuration predates the mighty Atlas, Titan and Saturn boosters of the moon race, and still echoes the wonder and nostalgia of 1930s science fiction. The kit is the Glencoe rendition of this famous design, built straight from the box. The kit comes in with the 3 rocket sections, the reusable shuttle and the launch gantry with work platforms giving access to the various parts of the booster.
