This model serves as a demonstration and quality target for the full Space Shuttle Discovery stack model that's in progress. The final, full model will include the external tank, solid rocket boosters, full orbiter with opening cargo hold, and a few stand options.
The target, initial size is likely to be either 1:48 or 1:72, but other size variants will follow depending on the target print method (Resin / Filament - both will be available). Most if not all models of the Shuttle do not capture the numerous thermal protection tile locations and the sheer amount of them correctly... until now!
