I've been working on restoring an old space shuttle I've had on the shelf and don't remember the manufacturer or the scale. It's approx. 7" long with a wingspan of 4.5 inches. What scale would this be? I've decided to strip the whole thing down, had been trying to salvage the fuselage details, paint the spacecraft and put on new decals.

The dimensions of the shuttle listed on Nasa's site is 122.17'L X 78.06 W.S.. So that's 1466.04" X 936.72". Your shuttle is likely 1/200 scale (7.33" X 4.68"). That would include (but not necessarily limited to) Revell's snap-tite kit, Hasegawa or Lindberg for the maker of it.

Post some pics of it and we'll probably be able to narrow it down to which kit it is. Out of those choices I believe the Hasegawa is the more accurate and better molded kit. Good luck and keep us posted.
