Product description
■ The model will be a ferry flight with Discovery on a Boeing 747. It will transport a shuttle over a long distance that can only glide in the atmosphere. Details such as the tail fairing installed to protect the nozzle part of the shuttle and improve aerodynamics, and the 747 with modified tail wing, as well as the paint and markings of the airframe are faithfully reproduced. The remaining two shuttles will be retired by the end of the year, and the nearly 30-year space shuttle mission will be completely finished by the end of the year. It has been decided that the Discovery plane will be placed in the National Air and Space Museum after retirement. Enjoy the last brave appearance of Discovery while traveling from the Kennedy Space Center to Washington with this die-cast model.
