![]() To the untrained eye, the flaw is likely unnoticeable. Consequently, the thruster pushes out by a fraction of a millimeter, resulting in minute separation of bricks in the thruster housing. The design is missing a mere hair of clearance. The maneuvering thrusters press against the population engines. But, upon execution, a flaw reveals itself. Initially, the attachment design seems impressive. The maneuvering thrusters sit at an angle above the main propulsion engines. However, you assemble two orbital maneuvering thrusters that mirror each other. At first, I thought it was a mistake I made. However, there is one point where the design does not work. My main interests all involved new ways to achieve smooth curves, straight lines, and angles. The flight deck lifts off to reveal the mid deck below.ĭiscovery also offers a number of interesting build techniques. Additionally, the seats themselves represent new pieces in my collection. The scale really becomes apparent when you insert the tiny little chairs into the mid and flight decks. It really impressed upon me the actual size of the orbiter craft. Much like Hubble, Discovery is a phenomenal design. Obviously, the main build is the set’s namesake. Consequently, you display Hubble as if it is deploying from the shuttle. The second stand inserts into Discovery’s cargo bay. The first allows you to display the telescope next to ship with solar panels fully deployed. Additionally, Hubble comes with two display bases. ![]() However, you stow the panels in order for the satellite to fit. Discovery’s cargo bay is large enough to hold the satellite. The second consists of brick-built tubes representing undeployed solar panels. The telescope features two display modes. The product looks amazing, and you get loads of shiny silver bricks. There is nothing that I do not like about this model. Firstly, you assemble the Hubble Space Telescope. ![]() I will use my usual rating system ( click here to learn more) and provide my honest opinion. However, the provision of products does not guarantee a favorable review. NOTE: The LEGO® Group provided this set for review. Consequently, today we take a closer look at the amazing NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283) set. ![]() As luck has it, they also sent me a pre-release copy to review. Earlier this week, the LEGO® Group announced the latest in their NASA inspired sets. My personal favorite among those was the Lunar Space Station. In fact, True North Bricks has reviewed many, including the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander, the International Space Station, and many of the City theme kits. (34 cm) wide, making it the perfect size to display.The LEGO® Group has a long history producing NASA and space related sets. The shuttle model measures over 8.5 in.With multiple display stands, this space shuttle model makes an eye-catching centrepiece for the home or office. Comes with coffee-table-style instructions that include inspirational design details.Looking for the best gifts for adults who love a creative project? This space shuttle model will appeal to space enthusiasts and anyone wanting an immersive building challenge, making it a great gift.The Hubble Space Telescope LEGO® build features movable solar panels and a hatch door, just like on the real thing.Check out all the authentic features, including the opening payload bay, retractable landing gear, opening cockpit, moving elevons, space arm, plus 5 seats for the crew.Enjoy hours of immersive building as you create both the Space Shuttle Discovery and the Hubble Space Telescope from NASA’s 1990 STS-31 mission.Take a journey of exploration with this LEGO® NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283) model building kit for adults.Now you can mark this grand accomplishment of space exploration by building an incredibly detailed LEGO® version of the iconic shuttle, complete with the Hubble Space Telescope. Travelling over 148 million miles, it has unlocked mysteries of our solar system, broadening our understanding of the universe. NASA’s Space Shuttle Discovery is arguably the most famous spacecraft of the past 40 years.
