Ugears NASA Spaceshuttle Discovery

The Space Shuttle Discovery embodies the incredible adventure of space travel. Inspired by historical moments, the model offers a unique experience for modelers. With its versatility and beautiful design, it evokes eras of discovery and scientific progress. Building this masterpiece allows you to let your imagination run wild and feel involved in exploring unknown horizons. As a tribute to the famous spacecraft, this remarkable kit can be converted into three different models: a spaceship, a stand, and a satellite. Every part of the Space Shuttle Discovery has been meticulously designed to capture the details and essence of the original craft. With carefully movable parts and realistic features, the Space Shuttle brings to life the excitement and technical precision of space travel. The scale model of the reconnaissance shuttle (1:96 scale) features two cargo compartments that can be opened, revealing the HST model. With movable solar panels and a sliding door, it evokes the thrill of rolling out the Hubble Space Telescope during its legendary mission. The front and rear compartments of the Discovery can be opened separately, allowing you to safely store or fire the telescope. A simple dial activates the opening of the front cargo compartment, while a similar wheel controls the rear compartment. Place the telescope on the shuttle’s robotic arm and rotate the arm using a practical dial located on the spacecraft’s belly piece. The result is an impressive and dynamic display of the launch and deployment of the Hubble telescope. To complete the authentic look, the shuttle comes with an informative card with essential facts about the historic spacecraft Discovery. In addition, the kit includes officially approved decals with the shuttle’s name, the familiar NASA “worm” logo and the American flag. These decals can be applied to the wings and sides of the shuttle, creating a true-to-life image.
