This premium series Space Shuttle Launch Kit is an amazingly detailed etched model that is fun and satisfying to assemble. Simply pop the pieces out of the flat metal sheets and follow the included directions to assemble your model by bending the tabs through corresponding connection points. Over 15 stories tall, the external tank flanked by two booster rockets enabled the space shuttle to escape Earth's gravity and send it into orbit. The two booster rockets would burn 9 tons of fuel per second, at a velocity of 3000 miles per hour. The model measures 3.54 x 4.13 x 6.7 inches when assembled. Difficulty level: Moderate. Easy to follow illustrated instructions are included with each kit and no glue or solder required. Imported Material & Care Plastic Spot clean only
