Bought at 240€.

Or you could build the external tank in white.

If we would ever get a Saturn V scale shuttle set (or Creator Expert set), I do hope the belly is tiled and the wheels are hidden. That’s what I really don’t like about 10213 and 10231. For today’s standards, that set just feels a little too simple. 
 

I do have the feeling LEGO is embracing the realistic space theme these days once again (including City Space). I believe the Saturn V and Lunar Lander were a great success, and the ISS was also sold out very fast. If we’d get a new space set end 2020, or 2021, I’d put my money on a space shuttle.

There's a Big! Space Shuttle on LEGO Ideas https://ideas.lego.com/projects/f072bc4c-47a3-417e-98cb-5750fdac516d

KingsKnights Shuttle is very nice for the Saturn V scale. And it has got some updates on https://www.facebook.com/groups/legospacebuilds/ but sadly that page now requires a fb account to view. That was not needed until a few days ago.

Don't like that lego idea because orange tank and white boosters are missing. It remind me the technic model bug without gears!

That's fine by me, adding them would double the parts count / cost

I'd rather have a more detailed model without them.

That LEGO Idea is minifig scale, or close to. And if adding Tank and boosters, would get very very expensive.

For a model that size, I too can skip tank and boosters.

The facebook groups is viewable again.
