1/40 model of Shenzhou
In March 2003 the CNES French Space Agency received a delegation from China
Satellite Launch & Tracking Control. On this occasion CNES was offered
a 1/40 brass model of the shenzhou spacecraft. I was given the opportuny
to use this model to take photographs and measurements to produce diagrams.
My plan is to use these photographs and diagrams
to scratchbuild a 1/48 Shenzhou in order to fit it into my Dragon 1/48
Long March 2E model which I also plan to convert into a Long March 2F for
the occasion.
I hope this will be helpfull for all fellow real space modelers.
