Hasegawa 10730 1/200 Space Shuttle Orbiter

Model Kit

The Space Shuttle Orbiter is the winged, reusable component of NASA’s Space Shuttle program, designed to carry astronauts and cargo into low Earth orbit. Equipped with a crew cabin, payload bay, and advanced avionics, the orbiter returned to Earth like a glider after missions, landing on runways rather than splashing down. Powered in orbit by its own engines and maneuvering thrusters, it played a central role in deploying satellites, servicing the Hubble Space Telescope, and constructing the International Space Station, making it a symbol of versatility and innovation in human spaceflight.

Hasegawa is well known for producing high-quality, highly detailed model kits across a wide range of subjects. They’ve been in the hobby industry since the early 1960s and have a reputation for sharp mold quality, accurate scaling, and interesting kit subjects.
