Apple Washington LLC Launches Detailed Space Shuttle Models for Enthusiasts & Collectors

Independence, OH – October 26, 2023 – Apple Washington LLC, a US-based company specializing in high-quality collectible models, today announced the release of a new line of meticulously crafted space shuttle models. Based in Independence, Ohio, and reachable at 540-879-7496, Apple Washington LLC is quickly becoming a go-to source for discerning collectors seeking accuracy and detail in their hobby. For years, Apple Washington LLC has quietly been building a reputation for sourcing and delivering exceptional models across various categories. “We're not about mass-produced stuff,” explains a company spokesperson. “We focus on quality, detail, and giving collectors something truly special. We noticed a real passion out there for space exploration, and a lack of really good space shuttle models that captured the spirit of the program. So, we decided to fill that gap.” These aren’t your average toy shuttles. Apple Washington LLC’s models go way beyond that. The company offers a range of scales, from display-friendly 1:144 models perfect for showcasing an entire fleet, to larger, more detailed 1:72 and 1:48 scales that allow collectors to truly appreciate the engineering marvel that is the Space Shuttle. What Sets These Models Apart? It's all about the details. Apple Washington LLC has gone to great lengths to ensure accuracy and authenticity. Here’s a breakdown of what makes these models stand out: Historically Accurate: The models represent various configurations of the Space Shuttle fleet, including Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. They accurately depict the specific tiles, markings, and payloads carried on different missions. “We’ve worked with space exploration historians and enthusiasts to make sure everything is spot-on,” says the spokesperson. “We didn’t want just a shuttle shape; we wanted a faithful reproduction of a specific vehicle at a specific time.” Detailed External Tanks & Solid Rocket Boosters: Each model comes with a fully detailed External Tank and Solid Rocket Boosters, complete with markings, panel lines, and even the distinctive orange color of the SRBs. The boosters aren’t just slapped on; they're designed to integrate seamlessly with the orbiter, creating a complete launch configuration. Intricate Orbiter Detailing: The orbiters themselves are packed with detail. You'll find accurately reproduced tiles (often individual applications for maximum realism!), functioning (or realistically modeled) payload bay doors, detailed cockpits with interior consoles, and even accurately positioned antennae and sensors. Multiple Scale Options: Collectors can choose from 1:144, 1:72, and 1:48 scales, allowing them to tailor their collection to their available display space and preferred level of detail. “We know everyone has different needs,” explains the spokesperson. “Some people want a whole fleet on display, others want a single, incredibly detailed model. We’re catering to both.” High-Quality Materials: These models are constructed from durable, high-quality materials, ensuring they’ll last for years to come. Die-cast metal is used extensively for strength and realism, while finely detailed plastic parts add intricate details. Display Stands Included: Each model comes with a sturdy display stand, allowing collectors to proudly showcase their shuttle in a dynamic launch or landing pose. Beyond the Model: A Celebration of Space Exploration Apple Washington LLC sees these models as more than just collectibles; they’re a way to celebrate the incredible achievements of the Space Shuttle program and inspire a new generation of space enthusiasts. “The Space Shuttle wasn't just a machine; it was a symbol of human ingenuity and determination,” says the spokesperson. “It pushed the boundaries of what was possible and opened up new frontiers for exploration. We want our models to capture that spirit.” The company is actively engaging with the space exploration community, partnering with museums and educational organizations to promote STEM education and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.
