Description
@mochr has provided an excellent and detailed 1:100 scale model of the International Space Station. But the geometry of the model is so realistic that the thin struts between the S0 truss segment and Destiny lab are risky to transport in Earth's gravity, and can't be disassembled once glued together.
By gluing this adapter to the S0 truss segment and adding 4 threaded inserts to the Destiny lab (McMaster 94180A361), the pressurized segment and the truss segments can be disassembled from each other with just an allen key, allowing for easier transport.
The struts provided in the original model can still be used cosmetically on the exterior of the adapter to maximize the likeness to the real ISS.
