Tamiya 60402 - 1/100 Space Shuttle Atlantis Kit Overview

The Tamiya 60402 model kit recreates the Space Shuttle Atlantis with careful attention to the shuttle's role in NASA history, including work on the International Space Station. The model reflects Atlantis as it appeared on its final mission on July 21, 2011, before the orbiters were retired to museum display.

Build Quality and Historical Context

This 1/100 scale assembly is made for hobbyists who appreciate precise fitting parts and period detail. The Atlantis helped shape modern orbital operations, and this kit lets builders study its structure and mission hardware up close.

Detailing, Movable Parts and Display Modes

The set contains newly moulded components representing mission-specific equipment like the "Raffaello" Multipurpose Logistics Module (MPLM) and the Orbiter Docking System (ODS). The cargo bay accepts removable fittings, engine nozzles can be posed, and the included stand supports both ground display and a simulated in-flight mount.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/100
  • Length: 373mm
  • Material: Plastic
  • Includes: 2 astronaut figures
  • Display options: Ground or in-flight
This kit is best for intermediate to advanced modelers due to small parts and fine detail; beginners can assemble it with patience and basic modelling tools.
Use plastic cement for joins and acrylic or lacquer paints for the finish. Thin coats and masking will help achieve the shuttle's white-black thermal tile appearance.
Yes, the main engine nozzles are movable and the cargo bay accepts detachable components, allowing a choice of static or opened display configurations.
