That is an incredible shot. Thanks, using it as wallpaper on my machine.

If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, I think Hasegawa intend to rerelease their 1/200 SCA combo later this year.

With the way these diecast QCs are going, you'd be better off going the Hasegawa route!! And let's not even think how much an(incorrect?) diecast would be...

Hasegawa has already made a kit of the combo if anyone is still into old school modeling.

Default Re: Where's the 1/200 SCA?

I would totally love a shuttle on top of the 747

I would buy two: preferable in this combination:
the classic original color with the shuttle enterprise


And the modern day color with the shuttle discovery


I would really like it if it had gear up option. I think it would look the best like that


I hope gemini or inflight jumps in...cmon it's a gold mind!!!!!

Well a little birdie has dropped a hint that this is in the pipe line and it will be from one of the big manufactures, I think you'll just have to be patient as it would be a popular model and will sell well. Personally I would think they will sell the aircraft on its own and release the shuttle roughly the same time and have it with different names so you could pick which one you would prefer. Hopefully for me it'll be discovery and also it'll have the option to to have the gear down as then you can display then own there own......here's hoping

I will prefer the Atlantis as I flew to Florida just to see it launching (STS-132).

We need something like this



that shuttle looks decent but the 747 cockpit is not that great.
