Product Review

The Metal Earth models are amazingly detailed etched models that are fun and satisfying to assemble. Each model starts out as 4 inch square metal sheets and you simply pop out the pieces using wire cutters and follow the included directions to assemble your model. The Space Shuttle Atlantis was the fourth shuttle built and the last one to fly. It was launched on its maiden voyage October 3rd 1985 and landed for the last time on July 12th 2011 at Cape Kennedy. By the end of its last flight Atlantis had orbited the Earth 4,848 times traveling nearly 126 million miles. The model is 3.9x2.75x1.95 inches when built. Difficulty level: Easy. No glue or solder needed.
