Aviation Specials Magazine Scale Modelling: Real Space Edición especial

Real Space, a Scale Modelling special brought to you by the team behind Airfix Model World, has been produced to mark the 50th anniversary in 2019 of the Apollo Moon landings.

Projects presented in this 100-page special cover the majority of the ‘space era’, from the United States’ first successful satellite, Explorer-1, through Skylab and the International Space Station (ISS) to NASA’s future Space Launch System (SLS).

There’s also an exclusive build of ARK Models’ newly tooled 1/144 Buran orbiter. And that’s not all, as there’s China’s Shenzhou and Tiangong spacecraft, the European Ariane rocket and a retro look at an early design for interplanetary exploration. Most skill levels are covered, with a mix of basic and advanced techniques. There is also insight from ex-NASA scientist David Baker, who has provided absorbing accounts of the near-disastrous Skylab launch, the ongoing ISS project and an examination of the forthcoming SLS.
