Hey, it's the Pan Am Orion from 2001! And a really good version of it!

I took the tour, got to know the crew, but didn't get any ticket

Seriously, those are well-designed models. I love the detail you placed in
them, esecially the shuttle door and landing gear (landing gear is a problem
I am contemplating with another model I am working on, and taking a look at

The lunar shuttle is great becaus eof the engine swivels, for starters. That
and the independent suspension. Really well done!
Now where do I get a ticket?
