[About ISS International Space Station]
-In November 1998, the first module was launched from the Baikonur Space Station in Kazakhstan, and the ISS International Space Station was built in orbit about 400 km above the ground.
-Since the start of construction in 1998, more than 40 aircraft have been launched into space and assembled in space.
-In this way, various facilities including the experimental modules of each country participating in the plan were constructed and completed in July 2011.
-The final size is about 108m x 72m and the mass reaches about 420 tons.
-After completion, astronauts will always be in operation and take turns.
-The United States, Japan, and 15 other countries around the world cooperate in a wide range of applications, such as various experiments, research, and earth observation activities in the special situation of outer space.
[About the model]
-The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the ISS International Space Station orbiting about 400 km above the ground at 1/400 scale.
-The ISS was completed in 2011, but this kit is a model of the appearance before 2007 when the Japanese experimental building [Kibo] was built.
-Each module and structure of the ISS is realistically reproduced with plastic parts.
-The detailed reproduction of the fine surface has a sufficient three-dimensional effect.
-The finish of the paint is a sifting point of the arm.
-In addition, the large solar panels that characterize the appearance are prepared with etched parts. The feeling of the finish is further enhanced.
-Of course, it comes with a special display stand that reproduces its figure orbiting outer space even after completion.
-Although the ISS has few chances to see the whole picture, it is a model, so the shape and mechanism that can be understood cannot be overlooked by space model fans.
