    1:144 Space Shuttle Paper model Assembly

    You need: White glue, a craft knife, ruler, tweezers, a cutting mat, and very, very
    important……..PATIENCE.
    For beginners is best to learn basic techniques for papermodeling before this assembly.
    You can check in the Internet.

    The following pages show a sequence of photos as a guide to build this model. This
    applies to all closed-payload bay Shuttle models.
    The payload bay box is a key element. Glue the numbered tabs with the correspondent
    numbers in the dashed areas.

    These tabs secure the front bottom. This is how it will look when correctly glued.

    Note the curved front bottom. (This is key) Reinforcers


    Glue the payload box on top of this part. Make pressure to form a curved front bottom.

    This is how it will look. Prepare this structure that will give shape to the crew cabin.

    . These 2 parts are never glued. They will Note how the small tabs are folded. The
    “float” on top of the other front ones are folded backwards and the
    center ones will be opposite to each
    other.
    This is how it will look. . Crew cabin and payload box need to be
    glued perfectly as photo show.

    Align the lines for symmetry.


    Give a curved shape to this part.
    Fold tabs towards the front.
    The walls are folded on this line.

    Glue both ends A and D. The walls need to be glued too. Let it dry.
    These are other views of this step.
    Now lets prepare the Shuttle cabin!

    Fold between these 2 points. This area is curved.

    shape.

    These 2 parts need to touch in the line. How it looks from below. Note that the
    black flaps will not touch each other.
    Give shape to the nose. Insert the small piece with the small tabs
    folded outwards.

    Close this part with the “teeth” Glue the nosecap covering the teeth.

    Bend the lateral windows inward and This is how it will look.
    glue to the tab.
    Glue the indicated areas only.

    This is how it will look. Prepare the belly section by cutting the 2
    holes.
    Glue the body on top of the belly section
    leaving the holes at view.

    This is how it will look after the belly Now ready for the wings!

    This is how it looks. Now glue the front part of the wing.
    The wing has to be glued Another view

    Don’t forget to cut out the squares. This is how it will look.
    Glue the aft section as indicated.

    Now prepare the OMS parts.

    Fold here and here. Bend the tabs as indicated.


    These 2 photos show how the thruster box is formed.

    Back and front views

    Glue these parts as shown.


    Connect the front part with the rest of the OMS pod. Make it fit.

    Glue R-R and L-L. The inner tab has to be glued to the
    black portion of the OMS pod.

    Press and hold to dry. If necessary press down where indicated


    to make it fit.

    Prepare the tail and the body flap.

    Before gluing the body flap, identify


    the black side and gray side.
    Black side faces up and gray side faces
    down.

    IMPORTANT: one of the 3 engines
    needs to be glued in an angle. That
    will go as first engine.

    Orbiter complete.
    Enjoy building your 1:144 Space Shuttle paper model!
