Attached are two photos for your Reader's Gallery of my rework of Revell's Convair Space Shuttlecraft concept kit. I finished it as a 'what if' this shuttle had developed to an operational space vehicle. Decals are scratch made except for stars and bars and red striping.  I originally built it years ago as a white shuttle and titanium booster with the kit decals, but wasn't too happy with it.  My building skills hadn't reached the desired quality at the time.  So I redid it after seeing a similar one pictured at a model show.
