This is where you come in: if you have the kit listed, take a picture of the box art and either scan it in and send me a jpg file, or snail mail the print to me and I'll scan it in here. However, some of the kits contain no such date, so I've either guessed or left the date blank.Ī note about the NEED CONFIRMATION notations: these are kits on which I have incomplete or conflicting information: I'm not sure about the exact title of the kit or the scale or kit number or if it even existed at all! So if any of you out there in Netland can provide the information and (ideally) a jpg of the boxtop, please let me know.Ī Final note: As you can see, I don't have boxart photos of some of the kits listed. For most of them, I use the copyright date on the box or instruction sheet. I've also made a stab at the issue date of the kit. Most of the kits listed are injection molded plastic. If you see any errors or can provide confirmation on those kits that I've indicated confirmation is needed or have additions for this page, please email me. If there's a green dot ( ) in front of the kit name, then the link includes not only the boxart, but also full sized scans of the instructions, decals, and maybe some additional stuff. Here, I've organized the models by subject and scale and I've added links to photographs of the kit boxes for those that I have or that people have sent me. I've also relied heavily on now out of print The Collector's Value Guide for Scale Model Plastic Kits by John W. A copy of this list used to be found at, but it's not there anymore (and don't ask me where it is, because I don't know). I used Greg Bollendonk's Spacecraft models list as the starting point for this compilation. Gaia can’t see through thick clouds of dust that obscure visible light, so the infrared observations of VISTA should help complement the data collected by the ESA mission, the team stated.Ninfinger Productions: Spacecraft models Spacecraft and X-Plane Models These stellar movements are currently observed in visible light by the European Space Agency's (ESA) Gaia mission at visible wavelengths. This process is difficult to view from the vicinity of Earth, as even at these local distances the apparent shift of these stars is equivalent in scale to looking at a human hair from a distance of around 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) away. Repeated views of the same regions also mean that the data will allow astronomers to track how the young stars they show moved over time. These cosmic mosaics show dark patches and trails of dust, glowing clouds and newly born stars framed by the distant background stars of the Milky Way. Over a period of five years studying these regions, the team was able to produce over one million images that were pieced together into vast panoramas. The bright glow of new stars illuminates dark dust trails in a star-forming region called Lupus 3, as seen by the VLT Survey Telescope and the MPG/ESO 2.2-meter telescope.

"The dust obscures these young stars from our view, making them virtually invisible to our eyes," team member and University of Vienna Ph.D. VIRCAM allowed the astronomers to capture light from deep within the clouds of dust that are all less than 1,500 light-years away, and thus glimpse infants stars that had never been seen before. VIRCAM’s huge field of view allows for detailed study, given it can see a sky area as wide as three full moons. The proximity of the surveyed star-birthing regions (and their immense size) means they span a large area of the night sky. Meingast and colleagues studied the local star-forming regions of the constellations Orion, Ophiuchus, Chamaeleon, Corona Australis and Lupus, with the VISTA infrared instrument VIRCAM, also known as the VISTA Infrared Camera. "This will allow us to understand the processes that transform gas and dust into stars." "In these images, we can detect even the faintest sources of light, like stars far less massive than the sun, revealing objects that no one has ever seen before," research lead author and University of Vienna astronomer Stefan Meingast said in an ESO statement.
