I have a few space theme collections that I would like to share. The ones featured here only show 1/200 scale, not other scales, but with space being more and more popular, I would like to see more manufactures make NASA and other space theme aircraft to inspire future generations.

Here's a list of models I currently have in my collection (note: if you want to know the item number of the model, simply right-click and save the picture and it should show the model number).

Although not perfect, at least we got a 747SCA with the shuttle on the back:

I didn't get the 747SP SOFIA with the painted on "opened" fuselage with the telescope, thought it looked better closed

For the Dragon Wings XB-70 Valkyrie, I wished I got the NASA version instead, but missed it, so I got this one instead:

And I hope this is not just limited to NASA theme, I would like to see space theme from different nations as well:

So far on pre-order I have P-3B.

I would like to see some of these done as well:

What are some space-theme subjects you would like to see?

Impressive collection!

I do not know if 1:200 is the best scale for such (I'll leave that to others to opine), but I would love a diorama set with the space shuttle orbiter landing at either Edwards Air Force Base (or maybe White Sands for STS-3) with T-38 jets in chase.

I would also like to see a Super Guppy model that opens to reveal a detailed interior (and maybe an Orion capsule in the cargo hold).

All times are CT (US)
