L4200 Enterprise

[Gemini]

Part of my 1/144 scale spacecraft collection, the L4200 is a hypothetical space plane developed by Lockheed Martin and Orbital Science Corporation as a competitor to Boeing's family of space planes (http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/pasa-paper-aeronautical-space-administration/15334-leviathan.html#post223680). It is based on the idea of a manned, upscaled X-34 that incorporates tech from the Orion and the X-33. (Likewise, the CST-250/350 were derived from X-37B and Space Shuttle tech). It is also featured in an original short story "To the Moon, Mars, and Beyond".

The model itself was a repaint (with rattle-can) of the X-34 available at Jon Leslie's site.

I'd like to say, I love the way you've presented the model, Gemini.

Great job, especially the last picture. It really looks like it's flying.
