This is the 1/12 scale resin Explorer 1 satellite kit by RealSpace Models.  I used Tamiya primer & paints & over coated it with Future.  The name plate is copied from the Glencoe 1/6th Explorer 1 kit decal.  I also made the clear plate cover from a plastic CD case cut to size.  It is a nice little kit that goes together really well.  There is a companion kit, RealSpace Models 1/12 scale Sputnik that I'm still working on to add to my collection. Hope you like it & please e-mail me with your constructive comments.

Thanks,   

Steve
