Many year's ago in 1982, a modelling company called Guillow's created a balsa wood model of the Space Shuttle Columbia (Kit No. 1201). I happened to find by complete chance an un-assembled kit on e-bay. The instructions, parts and box are still in extremely good condition and I've been tempted to assemble it. However, this is probably the last un-assembled kit, so I'm going to make a CAD copy of the parts to that I can reproduce the kit for myself.

Above is some of the parts from the kit plan.

I'm interested in the plans, please email p51nut@gmail.com

I have a complete kit in the box. The box is torn on one corner. I believe it is all there. Plans, decals, everything. What is this worth?

Regarding release the plans, I think it would cause copyright issues with Guillows.
I don't know how much the kit plans are worth. I was lucky and managed to get a good deal on eBay.
Dear George, would it still be possible to get those plans?
Hi, At the moment sadly no. However in the future possibly. thi sis mainly because I have to devote time to Family, Work and a couple of other projects. I am planning to complete an electronic version however this I have nopt idea when this will be. Hopefully this year, but I'm not promising anything. The Original scan I have, I might try to 'clean-up' but this will also take time to do.
Once some of my current project are closer to completion, I'll look at picking up the project.
Best Regards

I have these plans as well, having built this kit back in '96. ADDED BONUS: the kit was for the orbiter alone. With a friend, we cobbled together a set of (makeshift) scale plans for the external tank and boosters as well. Any interest in these?
I have a complete kit new in the box. I received as a birthday gift in 1982 and bever assembled it. It came from the Smithsonian Institute and I still have the original wrapping paper.
I think I’m missing the plan page for this kit. Anyone have a file of them?
