Daron RT38921 Space Shuttle Launch Set

Broke after a few hours of play. This is not designed to be taken out of the box! Once you do, shuttle will never attach to external fuel tank again. 6 year old is extremely frustrated that it will not stay on launch pad. Shuttle doors broke off the first day of light play because the hinges are made of brittle plastic. The wheel piece on launch pad keeps coming off. Looks impressive in box but a ridiculous price for junk. Once you take it out you realize it should not cost more than 10 bucks.

Good quality, fit our model's perfectly.

Thaks for offering

Metal Shuttle and plastic rockets. Cargo bay opens and has the Canada arm. Very nice.

I loved EVERYTHING about this item!! I used it to show my PreKindergarteners what the shuttle looks like and how it works. They are totally fascinated. We'll worth my purchase.

I was looking for a model of the shuttle in full stack configuration at a reasaonable price. Most of the ones (full stack) listed are very expensive being made of wood. I saw this listing and ordered it. I was very pleased with this item. Shape is good, the size is perfect at approximately 1/200 scale, detailing is quite good considering the cost. The addition of the launch support structure is a very nice plus. As I purchased this for a static display, I cannot attest to how robust it would be as a children's toy, however, it seems to be quite solid. That being said, this item is not perfect. The main fuel tank is rendered in a rather bright orange, which is not correct as the real item is closer to a brown color. A model builder could correct this easily with the correct color of (acrylic) paint, if one wished. The shuttle cargo bay doors are perhaps the biggest issue. They are a bit oversized and don't sit closed properly. There is a gap, as seen in the listing photo. Thus can be corrected by a judicious amount of sanding on the mating surfaces. Once this is done, the doors will close as they should. There is a rather nice payload included in the cargo bay, If one wishes to display the shuttle with the doors open. The shuttle can be separated from the boosters and tank and reassambled by sturdy attachments. For the price, this full stack shuttle is rather surprising. It might be intended to be a children's toy, but it will look really good on a shelf along with other spacecraft models as the construction and detailing belies the modest cost.
