Metal Earth James Webb Space Telescope 3D Metal Model Kit recreates the James Webb Space Telescope in etched steel, with its segmented mirror and layered sunshield shaped from flat sheets.
Why it is listed here
Few metal kits cover modern space science, and this telescope makes a clear contrast with the rocket and astronaut models in the same range. It spreads 62 pieces across 2.75 sheets at a moderate difficulty level, so the detail is there without the challenging rating of the Premium Series space kits. At about 4 in long it stays compact enough for a desk.
What the build involves
Use tweezers to bend and twist the tabs, twisting each one once only. Go slowly on the layered sunshield parts, keeping the layers evenly spaced before you lock the tabs. The finished model is small, so a desk or shelf spot works well, and a soft brush keeps the thin layers dust-free.
Before you order
Parts, lighting components and packaging are set by the maker and can change between batches – check the current Amazon listing. My Cutebee is an independent comparison site and is not run by any kit brand; the purchase is completed on Amazon.
