Hi folks...
This kit is something special. I grew up in the former GDR and the only plastic kit brand we could get (besides something from the Czech Republic etc.) was Plasticard. Well, I guess, most of you never heard of those. Lucky us that a company not so far away from my hometown dug the old forms out andstarted to reissue those plastic kits:

One of them is the "Energija/Buran", which I want to build. Its a real simple kit and as far as I know theres absolutely NO AM stuff. Funny eh? For me its as well a support of the local industry, if you can say so, and a fun project as always. Anigrand brought a pricey Buran shuttle, but its only the shuttle itself.
