Metal Earth Space Shuttle Atlantis — Coloured Version
Capture the vibrant history of NASA’s shuttle program with the Coloured Version of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Unlike the standard silver editions, this model features high-fidelity printed graphics that replicate the shuttle's heat-shielding tiles, the NASA "meatball" logo, and the iconic black-and-white orbiter livery. Atlantis was a true workhorse of the fleet, launching the first interplanetary probe to Venus and completing the final mission of the Shuttle Program in 2011.
Product Highlights
