Nice 1/200th Shuttle Kit if you put in the extra effort.
I built this kit to add to my AMT Man in Space kit so I would have the entire US fleet of manned launch vehicles in my own rocket garden. For the scale this is a nice kit. However I did some fairly extensive mods to it to make it so much better. I cut apart the SRBs from the ET and then had to rework both parts extensively to fix the cut. However when completed it made a world of difference. The kit itself is very good for the small scale. If you do the extra work to bring it up to snuff it really can turn out nicely. I did a large amount of detailed painting using pictures of the shuttle I had collected. I also extended the fuel line and added and LH2 line from the ET to the orbiter. Finally since I separated the SRBs I modeled the two attach fittings at the aft end to a reasonable detail at this small scale. I recommend this kit as easy if you build it OOB but as extra good if you put in the effort to fix it up.
