And its scale looks pretty decent as well for super detailing without going broke financially.As for the other items, I shall have to get my paws on the X-37. The scale is a bit oddball (1/50), but it is close enough to 1/48 and giving it the full model treatment should yield a stunning looking display piece. The fact that they included an open payload section I find interesting, given that part of the real X-37B is still classified.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>SpaceCadet1983</TD><TD>Has anyone purchased the X-37 OTV model?

I admit 1/450 is small, but it should be almost double the size of the 1/700 ISS Takara did a few years back. The 1/450 shuttle on the pad looks pretty cool to my eye as it looks like the MLP might be of close to correct proportion anyway. Looks like both it and the ISS are using the same shuttle orbiter originally created for the 747 SCA puzzle (which was a fun build when I did one in 2010).</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>jjknap</TD><TD>What is with the Russian science module/Power-Tower always being included in these ISS models? I can understand this for the models that came out years before the ISS was complete, but good grief; that module was cancelled several years ago, and the ISS has been essentially finished for over a year now. Don't they consult with someone as opposed to just looking at an artist's impression from years ago? </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>arjuna</TD><TD>What sellers are going to offer these, any idea?</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>The Space Store will be stocking the <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-884932-10367699?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thespacestore.com%2Fiss4dpuwisps.html&cjsku=iss4dpuwisps" target="AirLock">space station</a><img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-884932-10367699" width="1" height="1" border="0"/>.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>hoorenz</TD><TD>Great, with a 12-person Soyuz!</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>SpaceCadet1983</TD><TD>I just ordered the X-37 Spaceplane directly from Frame Master. <IMG SRC="http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/smile.gif"></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>BMckay</TD><TD>I just picked up an ISS one and I look forward to asking someone to build it for me.
