Solo7 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Has anyone seen photos of NASA SR-71 844 (last of the SR71s flying) with the LASRE/X-33 Aerospike rocket engine rig mounted on its hump? Then you thought that it would be cool to model this SR71, but building the LASRE/Aerospike rig from scratch was just a little too much work. Well I asked Michael Key of "The Aerospace Place" to build me one & he did. Michael now is offering this part to the model world 3D printed from Shapeways. 3D parts are never cheap when printing in the better resolutions & this part is $87. He made it to fit the NASA Haseagawa SR-71 1/72 kit (#00840) but it should fit any 1/72 SR-71. If you can't find the NASA Haseagawa SR-71 1/72 kit you are on your own with finding the decals for the NASA SR-71. But I got more good news I did a .pdf of the LASRE/Aerospike decals so you can print your own. The NASA meatball (5mm) is mounted on a black background so a inkjet decal will not work, the rest of the decals are mounted on the white LASRE wing. I can sen you the .pdf for the decals or Michael can send you one. Heres a photo of my completed Haseagawa SR-71.
