I'll give you that. Two SSMEs at the top, centre at the bottom. I remember asking SG once about that...if there was ever a point of the design phase that had it in that formation, and I believe he said no.<br /><br />

Yeah, that's what i was trying to say. But i couldn't quite tell from that angle if there was an extra one or not...

Ok, that is a weird detail... almost like the 2-engine orbiters in Moonraker. The other thing I noticed is that the SCA on both the bronze and color models have the regular tail, without the extra vertical fins on the tips of the horizontal stabilizer.

No mate, check out the first picture in this thread, you should be able to make out the tail fins (I just cut them off in the close up photo <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" /> )

Ah, ok, I see that now, but still, not on that crazy-engined bronze one <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" />

Yeah, the Bronze one doesn't have any...maybe that's why it's flying at an angle <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

The fact that the orbiter is attached to the SCA in only 1 position looks rather strange to me. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

For authenticity, SRB sep is probably nominal functioning of that pen. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em><font size="2" color="#ff0000">Who is this superhero?  Henry, the mild-mannered janitor ... could be!</font></em></p><p><em><font size="2">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</font></em></p><p><font size="5">Bring Back The Black!</font></p> </div>
