Shuttle SSME & OMS Replacements in 1/100 and 1/72 scales

Description: Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) & Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) Engine Replacement Sets – 1/72 & 1/100 scale. STS-SME-1-72 (1/72 scale) STS-SME-1-100 (1/100 scale) The Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) Detail Set is the result of a significant amount of research, both in available 3D models of the engines and in the correct information about engine orientation in the Aft Thrust Structure of the Orbiter. They are offered to solve one of the only “nagging problems” with the current Tamiya 1/100 scale Shuttle Orbiter model kit – The Space Shuttle Main Engines provided as part of the kit.Evidently, Tamiya worked from photographs and drawings of early “developmental” SSMEs, shown in NASA publications early in the Shuttle’s development and ground testing. The “loops” in the engine coolant transfer ducts, near the bottom of the nozzle. This configuration was modified to reduce vibration stress and achieve higher reliability.The 3D model for these engines was obtained from “In3DSpace,” who used NASA 3D model files, openly accessible and available from the NASA.gov website. The In3DSpace model was truncated to the “nozzle section,” from the Heat Shield attachment ring down. The OMS Engines are 3D printed using a custom STL file, re-scaled to match the needs of the Orbiter. They are normally sold in sets of three (3). A full-color, four-page manual provides proper engine orientation as well as color image references for detail painting. Remember, these replacement parts are sold to help you in your own Shuttle modeling project.LCSP currently does not sell finished Space Shuttle models.
