Hubble Telescope- 3D Metal Model Kit

Metal Earth Hubble Telescope

Bring one of humanity's most significant scientific tools to your desktop with the Metal Earth Hubble Telescope. Launched into low Earth orbit in 1990, Hubble operates above the distortion of our atmosphere to capture the high-resolution images that have redefined our understanding of the universe. This DIY kit allows you to build a detailed, museum-quality 3D replica of this iconic observer.

Product Highlights

Iconic Features: The model captures the telescope's signature cylindrical body, large primary mirror housing, and twin solar panels

Precision Engineering: Each piece is intricately laser-etched and precision-cut from a single high-quality stainless steel sheet

No Glue or Solder Required: Designed for a mess-free assembly, the parts simply pop out of the metal sheet and connect using a specialized "tab and slot" design

Perfect for Beginners: Rated with an "Easy" to "Moderate" difficulty level, this kit typically takes between one and two hours to complete, making it an excellent starting point for new hobbyists

Compact Display: Once finished, the polished steel model serves as a striking piece of décor for an office, study, or any space-themed collection

The Hubble Telescope kit offers a rewarding and educational experience that enhances fine motor skills whilst celebrating three decades of astronomical discovery.
