Instructions
Place a 2-by-4-stud plate at the back of a 4-by-6-stud plate. Stick two 2-by-1 vent plates at the back of this plate. Attach two 1-by-1-stud plates with double side-knobs on the sides in front of these plates on either side.
Place a 2-by-4-stud brick in the middle of the model body, in front of the 2-by-4 plate. Cover the back panel with a 2-by-4 plate.
Place two 1-by-1 bricks with side-knobs at the center-front of the large brick. Place 2-by-1-stud plates on either side. Attach a second 1-by-1 brick with double-knobs on either side of the 1-by-1 bricks, and 1-by-1 plates at the front of the model.
Stick 2-by-1 plates over the two side-front pieces. Place 4-by-1 flat plates on the sides of the model in-line with these plates.
Attach a 2-by-1 angled-handle brick to the front of the side-knobbed bricks.
Attach two corrugated 2-by-1 bricks to the back of the model, between the flat plates. The horizontally striped sides of the bricks should face outward. Place a 3-by-2-stud angled brick at the front of this.
Push two rods through the side-knobs on the side of the model. Stack a single round stud on top of a 1-by-1 round brick. Make two and attach them to the backs of the two rods.
Slide two more 1-by-1 round bricks on the front of the rods. Stick a pair of binoculars on each side rod.
Place a pair of 2-by-2 L-shaped plates on the front of the model, so they cover the angled handle piece. Place a vent over the gap where they meet. Attach a line of three 2-by-1 plates with single studs on top.
Flip the model over and place three cone-shaped rockets on the bottom of the model. Place two in the back and one in the front and center.
Place a 2-by-2 plate on the front of a rounded 2-by-2 base plate. These are round, flat and curved on the bottom. Attach two 1-by-1 hand clip plates on the back of this unit. Attach a 2-by-4 angled plate with a graphic on the front to this unit. Clip a 2-by-2 flat plate on the two studs on the top of the angled brick, so they hang backward. This unit becomes the cockpit of the shuttle.
Clip the cockpit to the angled handle under the nose. Tilt the nose forward to a shallow angle.
Slide a 1-by-8-stud plate to the back of a wing plate. Attach the two together with a 2-by-2 L-plate at the wide part of the wing, and a 2-by-1 vent plate at the bottom, one stud from the tip of the wing. Put a flat 1-by-1 yellow plate at the tip of the wing.
Stick two 1-by-1 hand clip plates side by side at the top of the wing. One of these should fit into the elbow of the L. Stick a 2-by-1 vent plate on top of these handles.
Place a single round stud plate at the front of the wing, three studs from the widest point. Attach a reflector dish on top of that, and place an antenna on top of that. Point the antenna forward.
Repeat the steps needed to make a second wing that mirrors the first. Attach both to the sides of the shuttle using the clips and the rods you installed earlier. These wings fold up when the shuttle is docked, and extend when in flight.
Place a 2-by-1 tall angled brick at the back of a 1-by-8-stud plate. Place a 1-by-4 brick in front of that, and a grey 1-by-1 brick ahead of that. Place a 2-by-1 upward-angled brick at the front of this piece.
Stack two 1-by-1 bricks on top of each other against the front of the angled brick. Stack another 2-by-1 tall angled brick on top of this.
Stick the large 1-by-6 tall brick in the elbow of the piece you have assembled. This is the tall upper wing of the model.
Stick a yellow 1-by-1 plate at the front of the wing, and a 2-by-1 flat plate at the back.
Stick the giant wing on the top of the model, so that it overhangs the back of the model by two studs.
