The fourth volume in the Space In Miniature series is the result of five years of research to create the most comprehensive and accurate collection of scale drawings of the manned spacecraft of the former Soviet Union. Besides the drawings, there is all the information a modeler will need to build an accurate, detailed model of any Soviet manned space vehicle. This volume was released in June, 1997. At 41 pages, "Soviet Spacecraft" is one of the biggest in the SIM series and focuses on manned Russian (former Soviet Union) spacecraft. It includes scale drawings of Vostok and Voskhod and thirteen unique versions of the Soyuz vehicle. Scale drawings of both versions of Progress are also included. Salyuts 6 and 7 are thoroughly covered via the line drawings of Dietrich Haeseler, plus new isometrics showing the color patterns of each. The configuration of Mir as of the first Shuttle docking mission in 1995 is documented by scale drawings based on NASA data. There is also information on available model kits of Russian spacecraft as well as articles on scratchbuilding, accurate colors, and converting the old Revell ASTP kit. This title sold out of the original print run in 2000, and I am now accepting orders for photocopied versions. I have reduced the price by $2 because of this.
