Convair Shuttle Craft 1:150 Scale Model Kit – A Bold Vision of Space-Age Tomorrow

Blast off into the future of the past with the Convair Shuttle Craft model kit, a legendary 1:150 scale reissue by Atlantis Models! Originally released by Revell in 1958 and designed by aerospace visionary Krafft Ehricke, this kit captures a daring mid-century concept of reusable space transport—long before the real Space Shuttle soared the skies.

As the box art boldly proclaimed: “Transport personnel between Earth and space satellites!” This sleek, needle-shaped shuttle with winged glider orbiter embodies the optimistic "Tomorrowland" spirit of the late 1950s, bringing a piece of space history to your workbench.
