Apple Washington LLC Launches Detailed Space Shuttle Models – Bringing the Dream of Space Exploration Home

Independence, OH – October 26, 2023 – Apple Washington LLC, a company dedicated to crafting high-quality, collectible models, today announced the launch of its new line of meticulously detailed Space Shuttle models. Based in Independence, Ohio, and reachable at 540-879-7496, Apple Washington LLC is quickly becoming known for its commitment to accuracy and craftsmanship. This new line aims to bring the wonder of space exploration directly into homes, offices, and the hands of collectors. For years, Apple Washington LLC has operated behind the scenes, supplying components to larger modeling companies. We've always been space nerds, though! We loved the Shuttle program, and always felt the models available just didn’t quite capture the magic. So, we decided to build our own. We’re a small, family-run business, and we pour our hearts into everything we make. We’re not about mass production; we’re about quality and accuracy. More Than Just a Model – It’s a Piece of History These aren’t your average plastic kits. We’re talking about highly detailed, die-cast metal models, painstakingly researched and crafted to replicate the iconic Space Shuttles as closely as possible. We’ve obsessed over the details – from the thermal protection tiles to the orbital maneuvering system (OMS) pods. We want these models to be museum-quality, something you can proudly display. "We really wanted to capture the spirit of the Space Shuttle program," says [Spokesperson Name - Replace with a name!]. “It was a truly remarkable achievement, and we felt it deserved a model line that reflected that. We spent months reviewing NASA documentation, photographs, and even talking to former NASA employees to ensure we got everything right.” What Makes These Models Special? Okay, let’s get into the specifics. Here's what sets Apple Washington LLC's Space Shuttle models apart: Die-Cast Metal Construction: These aren't flimsy plastic models. The primary structure is solid die-cast metal, giving them a substantial weight and premium feel. They feel good in your hand. Unparalleled Detail: We're talking hundreds of individual parts, each meticulously crafted. Pay close attention to the tile patterns, the markings, and the intricate details of the engines. Accurate Scale: The models are available in 1:144 scale, a popular choice among collectors, providing a good balance between detail and display space. Interchangeable Components: We offer different payload configurations, allowing you to display your Shuttle with various mission-specific components like the Hubble Space Telescope, Spacelab, or even the Russian Mir space station. You can customize your display! Authentic Decals: We’ve worked with a specialist decal printer to create authentic markings and insignia, ensuring accuracy and a realistic appearance. Display Stand Included: Each model comes with a sturdy display stand, allowing you to showcase your Shuttle in a dynamic pose. Multiple Versions Available: We're launching with models of several iconic Shuttles: Columbia: The first operational Space Shuttle. Challenger: A tribute to the crew and mission. Discovery: The most flown Space Shuttle. Atlantis: The Shuttle that flew the final mission of the Space Shuttle program. Endeavour: Built to replace Challenger. Beyond the Model: A Passion for Space Exploration At Apple Washington LLC, it’s not just about making models; it’s about sharing our passion for space exploration. We believe the Space Shuttle program represents a pivotal moment in human history, and we want to help keep that legacy alive. “We’ve been following NASA since we were kids,” adds [Spokesperson Name]. “The Shuttle program captured our imaginations, and we want to inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and explorers.” Perfect for Collectors, Educators, and Space Enthusiasts These Space Shuttle models are perfect for: Collectors: A highly detailed and accurate addition to any Space Shuttle collection.
