According to Wikipedia, the Space Shuttle orbiter is 122 feet long, with a wingspan of 78 feet and a height of 59 feet.
These are incredible 1 to 1 Space Shuttle Orbiter replicas. These replicas are incredible. Made to close exact dimensions of the original Space Shuttle Orbiters.

Shipping will be the responsibility of the purchaser and setup of the replica is extra. Please call!!!!
