1/144 would work OK-I initially had no interest in this until I saw a buildup and saw how big it is. It is beautifully molded and detailed and very accurate. I don't know about making the wings move but it's not too difficult to change the position of the wings--I just used some plastruct quarter-inch tubing as a joint and secured the wings with brass rod. I sincerely doubt that Bandai will do this subject since in 1/72 it would be even larger and this kit is several times the size of any of the Bandai kits released so far.
I like the main shuttle body but for me the wings are twice the size they should be- kinda reminds me of the Shrek joke about castle compensation...
I could get a smaller kit of this subject for completeness but it is great to see Revell make a good crisp kit instead of what they have been offering so far...
