Description

Spaceflight in the city

It is no accident that a space shuttle appears in the Classic Town range. That theme was about places and jobs of the present day, and crewed spaceflight was part of it. So the model is not a science-fiction ship but a spacecraft based on a real one. At 420 pieces it is compact enough to display on a shelf, yet it has enough substance to keep you busy for a while during the build.

White, red, light grey and black

The colours follow the real vehicle. White dominates the fuselage, red adds accents, and light grey and black handle details such as engines and landing gear. The result looks coherent and technical. If you later combine the model with other space sets or city buildings, it connects easily because the palette is plain. The parts are also well suited to building vehicles and aircraft of your own. A few dark pieces on the underside also give the pale model some depth and contrast.

Three figures, many part types

The three minifigures turn the shuttle into a play set: you can show crew and ground staff and stage a launch or a landing. Also striking are the 108 different part types, a high number for this size. It suggests many specialist elements were used to give the model its shape and detail. Second-hand copies do not always have every piece, so a comparison with the list is useful. That occasionally makes it harder to replace single pieces, but it keeps the build varied.

Parts list and building on

The full parts list with all 108 part types is on this page. Use it to check whether a used shuttle is complete and to order missing parts one by one. The “What can I build?” tool shows which other models you could make from your bricks. If you do not want to keep the shuttle whole, it also provides a good base for spacecraft of your own. That is especially helpful for a model made up of so many different shapes.
