model craft kit of NASA's  Space Shuttle Launch Pad 39A in 1:144 scale, designed to go with Revell, Minicraft, Airfix, Anmark, Entex or any 144 Space Shuttle with Boosters models and any 1:144 scaled Mobile Launcher Platform (not included, but available on eBay).  Please note - Revell's MLP platform will not compliment this 39A kit, as it is scaled smaller than 144.  The 144 MLP would be required for proper display.
The Space Shuttle, Mobile Launcher Platform and Crawler Transporter are not included.
Pad 39A is shown with Shuttle era 144 Crawler Transporter and MLP are not included, but are available seperately.
This heavy PAPER (32 lbs. test) model kit includes:
1 set of 48 quantity 11"x17" color laser 32 lbs. paper parts sheets .
1 CD containing the 130 page Assembly Procedure Manual in PDF file.
The heavy paper is tested and deemed best for precision and other factors.  After glueing, laminating, folding and assembly, it bears up strongly.  Suggestions for other scales would be welcome.
Other launch complexes are also available: Apollo Program Saturn V Launch Umbilical Tower, Saturn 1B Skylab/Apollo Soyuz Test Project, add-on, Apollo era Crawler Transporter in 144, 96, 100 and 70 scales and Shuttle era Crawler Transporter in 1:144 and 1:72.  Check Edu-Craft Diversions online for details...
Will require scissors, water based gray and red color marking pens (for coloring edges and any exposed paper), cutting board, white glue, cardboard (or foamcore) for sub-support on some parts, etc (Not included).  But all color cover and graphics are included on the parts sheets.
Over a year and a half in development ---  Initial design completed during the STS 135 final Shuttle mission...
Measures 22" wide, 12" depth, 29" height.
This exhaustively detailed model is recommended for advanced builders, but if the Apollo LUT can be handled, then 39A shouldn't be a problem.  Replacement parts sheets will be sent at little or no cost.  The build time would be akin to 3 Apollo LUT models, but this can be drastically reduced (by about 75%) by eliminating the myriad of walkways and add-on structures and still yield a worthy launch environment for your Space Shuttle.  The add-ons can then be intalled at the builder's discretion, but even if exluded, it would be akin to Revell's 4910 and 4911 in detail, considering that Revell's reflected a very early 39A complex before its many revisions.  Revell's also is off scale small and will not work with this 39A kit unless one or both are modified.   A minimized build would include FSS (LUT) girders and decks, RSS Hinge Tower, RSS mainframe girders and its Payload Processing Houses.
Bare bones kit to reduce costs to you... No packaging... Comes rolled in a USPS Priority package.  Includes 13 parts sheets and 65 page instructions manual CD.  Lay the sheets flat at room temp under a load (books) for 48 hours or so.
