ABOUT THE DESIGN

ABOUT THE KIT

First launched in 1988, the Ariane 4 is a European-built satellite launching system composed of a multi-stage liquid fuel booster augmented by several strap-on solid fuel rockets.  Launched from French Gianna, the Ariane 4 today handles approximately 50 percent of the commercial satellites business

Produced three years before Ariane 4 became operational, this large-scale kit was one of Revell/Germany's first Stateside releases.  Its payload bay features an in-scale communications satellite.

This model was built from an original 1985 issue.
