Sooooo....
Since I'm a BAR I've managed to find the few remaining kits from when I was born the first time and flew rockets. One of them is a Space Shuttle... but it doesn't have a tank/SRBs... It's just a shuttle. It takes an 18mm engine (as I recall it flew best (and only) on a C6-short). It has the airbrake in the deployed position in the tail, and the wing is a large composite of pieces of balsa. The one wing has a little flap glued in to make the rocket spin. The nose is a custom job with the cockpit molded in (blown plastic).
I've not managed to find any space shuttles in my searches that match it. Anyone? Anyone? echo?
PS- the parachute was "missing" so no help there on the maker.
