On the heels of the Air Force's X-37B returning to Earth, here's a first look at Dragon Wings' 1:400 model of its launch vehicle, Lockheed Martin's Atlas V rocket, and the 1:72 version of Boeing's Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV-1) itself.The Atlas V photos are of the finished product -- a review model courtesy Dragon -- which is shipping later this month.

X-37B photos are of Dragon's first painted prototype. The final model, which ships in March, may appear differently.

Wow, They look terrific! Looking forward to adding these to the collection. Grateful Dragon has decided to produce these lines of models. |

That ought to give them time to correct their X-37B model. Look closely at the forward thrusters: misplaced or missing. |
