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. .jpg) 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). |

Regarding the NASA Super Guppy model, a new (?) manufacturer, SQ Wings, is offering this model: Boeing B377SGT Super Guppy NASA N941NA. |

Thanks Chris, for the heads-up. With regards to N577NA, NASA's Airborne Science Laboratory, that was quite quick given that the new livery was just spotted for the first time earlier this month. |

Indeed. And JC Wings plans a 1:400 version of the 777 as well as a 1:200 version. |

SpaceX operates a private Boeing 737-800, registered as N154TS, to fly engineering staff and executives between its facilities in Hawthorne, California, and Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas. The jet features a two-tone gray and white color scheme with custom tail graphics that resemble Starship heat shield tiles. JC Wings has made a 1:200 scale model of the SpaceX aircraft:
