For some time, we’ve been toying with the idea of offering a specialized decal set, specific to Orbiter OV-102, ?Columbia,? in the later phase of her flight history. Just as with previously released new products, we?re asked for ?customer opinion,? indicating whether such a product would be beneficial to their work in building a late-era Columbia model. The results are quite ?positive.”Here are the reasons that this product seemed necessary.Both Columbia and her first ?sister ship,? OV-099 ?Challenger,? had the most individual Thermal Protection System (TPS) tiles of any other active Shuttle Orbiter. This meant that our original Early Era White Tile set would work on either Columbia or Challenger in their original TPS configurations. Because Challenger had the shortest fight history of the Orbiters, she never received major “upgrades” to her TPS system, even though she played a role in proving them out. Challenger was used to test areas of the Flexible Reusable Surface Insulation (FRSI) “blanket” style insulation, prior to her final flight in 1986. That test work successfully laid the foundation for the revisions to the upper surface TPS protection used on the other Orbiters. Columbia wore her original TPS system layout from the first flight into space in 1981 until she went through a series of modification programs later in her flight career, and by the time Columbia flew missions STS-109 and STS-107, she wore a combination of originally installed white tiles and revised FRSI Blankets on her upper surfaces. The original individual white TPS tiles covered the entire Forward Fuselage, the upper surfaces of the wings behind the RCC leading edges and in front of the inner felt panels, and the forward-facing surfaces of the OMS Pods. On her Midbody, Payload Bay Doors, Vertical Stabilizer and main OMS Pod surfaces, the tiles were replaced by FRSI blankets, which could cover larger areas each and required less time for installation and maintenance. The new configuration also reduced Columbia’s empty weight by 400 pounds. This unique arrangement required a Shuttle modeler, who wanted to accurately build Columbia at this point in history, to purchase both our Early Era White Tile Decal Set and a Late Era AFRSI & White Tile Decal Set, so that they would have all the elements they needed to build Columbia?s TPS layout. This kept a few modelers from proceeding with this project. They will not need to do this anymore. We are releasing a new product; a Columbia Special Edition TPS Decal Set, which contains all the correct elements, drawn together into one product offerings, allowing the Shuttle Modeler to accurately recreate the TPS configuration of OV-102 in her late flight history. Only the Standard Black Tile Decal Set is still required to complete the overall TPS build. We are making these decal sets in relatively small initial batches to ?test the waters.? Each of the primary model kit scales require more decal ?pages? to complete the set. The 1/144 scale version only needs one sheet, but the 1/100 scale version needs two and the 1/72 scale version needs three. Therefore, product pricing will be as follows: STS-CSE-1-144 ? 1/144 scale – $14.00 STS-CSE-1-100 – 1/100 scale – $ 24.00 STS-CSE-1-72(R/M) – 1/72 scale – $ 34.00 The ?R? version of the 1/72 scale set is sized to properly fit the Revell Orbiter model. The ?M? version is sized for the Monogram Orbiter model. These decal sets are printed on clear water-slide decal paper stock, which allows the modeler the option of using different off-white paint undercoats to offset each of the TPS areas of the Orbiter, and to do selective ?aging? of the TPS system, as desired. Please remember, these are not completed models. These products are decal sets ONLY. They are intended for modelers to use in the crafting of their own Shuttle modeling projects. Currently, the Lake County SpacePort does not sell either model kits or completed models.
