The Titan IIIC built by Martin Marietta first flew on 18 June 1965, and Dragon Wings has released a 1/400 scale model to commemorate this maiden launch. The model is highly accurate and is fully detailed. It's pre-painted and carries the correct series of USAF markings. It features the two huge strap-on solid rocket boosters that propelled Titan IIIC on its first ever foray into space from Cape Canaveral. Interestingly, Titan IIIC was distinguished by being the first to use solid-rocket motors to boost performance of the liquid-fueled core vehicle. Furthermore, the scale model comes with its own launch pad, thus creating an instant and dramatic diorama.
The Titan rocket was a general purpose expendable launch vehicle that was first flown on February 6th, 1959. The Titan program was developed to provide a back-up launch system for the Atlas program as well as to develop a larger two-stage launch system. 368 Titan rockets were launched, including those used by NASA for project Gemini. The complete Titan family spanned, in increasing size and power, from the Titan I thru Titan IV. © Copyright 2003-2023 The Flying Mule, Inc.
