"Mounted on the massive tracked transporter, the massive shuttle orbiter stack is an incredible flying machine! The winged shuttle orbiter is attached to an expendable liquid fuel tank and two solid rocket motors that propel this space explorer into the heavens. The space transportation system is accurately portrayed by the exciting 1/144th scale model of the shuttle orbiter 'Discover', main fuel tank, and reusable solid rocket motors that will hurtle into the featureless void of space in 1988 to renew the exciting exploration of space by NASA astronauts.
This kit includes a detailed main fuel tank, solid rocket boosters, and the tracked transporter launching platform that serves as the beginning of any spaceflight. This kit is molded in white and light gray plastic and includes markings for all five shuttle orbiters contracted by NASA."
