1. Dear Modeler this paper model is the fourth part of the International Space Station Paper Model It was built from scratch on the basis of photos published by NASA Please notify to me any error or discrepancy you could find during the assembly My address is fortezza marscenter it The modifications will be implemented according to your suggestions and you will be kept informed when the updated version will be made available Detailed pictures are available at NASA WEB site at speceflight nasa gov If you require an high degree of fidelity in your model please check these images before the assembly to control the correct positioning of each part However images of Zvezda have been included in this manual at page 12 This model is free ware as the previous ones and the idea is to develop the model 1 100 of the entire ISS If you want to support the initiative please joint the supporter group and send 10 US or even more if you like to the developer at the address indicated at page 12 Your name will be posted in the Supporter List published on the Paper ISS page at MARS WEB site and you can download all the updated version of the ISS with the new Modules that will be launched up to the end of this year 2000 Quality printed model Unity Zarya Shuttle Endeavour Zvezda is available based on un compressed files and 1440 dpi ink jet printer The cost is US 35 or an equivalent value in your cur rency Send the money directly via mail to th2.
