Skylab

I have always been frustrated by the fact that no major model company has ever produced a decent model of Skylab. 3D printing has allowed me to solve that problem! Here is my interpretation of the Skylab orbital space station. I’ve made it to match the 1:72 scale of other Apollo spacecraft models available from Dragon Models. This way I could have everything at the same scale for the first time in my life!

This is more complex than my other uplinks, but if you’ve ever wanted a good sized, nicely detailed model of Skylab, I think you might like this one. I certainly hope so anyway!

Parts for the model are divided into three subassemblies. I suggest building one at a time, then connecting the three together. I have also included parts that allow you build it as designed (with both solar panels in tact), or as flown (one solar panel missing). A decal sheet is included for detailing the solar panels.

The truss supporting the solar science section (sub assembly 3) is the hardest pa
