Nose cone from Moldin' Oldies. Pods and ramjet cones from Semroc. Homemade decals from the redraw on Kurt's Decal Page. Everything else is shop scraps and up close it shows. It has a 24mm mount and will likely fly on C11, D12, and E9s.

Holy good looking rocket, batman!

Mfg. Description: In the year 1983 the president approved the building of the U.S.S. America command post. The keel was laid at the San Diego Space Shipyards and the great bird first took to the skies in 1986. America now serves as a Presidential aerial Command Post Center and diplomatic courier. Able to land at large conventional airports, the America helps maintain peace on earth as well as in space. The ship's Orville/Stine nuclear rocket engines place the craft in earth orbit and augment the six ramjets used for atmospheric travel. These combined systems economically transport high government officials to global trouble spots. (Centuri 1976 Catalog 1)
