Academy 12708 - 1/288 Space Shuttle and Boeing 747 Carrier Transport Model

The Academy 12708 1/288 scale kit recreates the famous combination of the NASA Space Shuttle mounted on a modified Boeing 747. The assembly is aimed at model builders who value historical accuracy and careful part fitting.

Transport History

The shuttle was ferried on a specially adapted 747 to move it between landing sites and launch facilities. This kit highlights that unique transport method and the aerospace cooperation behind it, making it a neat piece of aviation history to study and display.

Build and Display

With fine moulding and compact proportions, the 1/288 scale keeps the finished model displayable without sacrificing visible detail. The kit lets builders examine the shuttle and carrier structure while creating a tidy shelf or diorama piece.
