![]() ![]() The System parts slot into place without any pressure but still have good clutch. I don't remember when I last had this much fun with the bricks it definitely wasn't the LEJI A-wing or the Lepin Y-wing. ![]() The brick quality is incredibly gratifying. Just for the record: Bag 1 is the Hubble stand, Bags 2/3 are the Telescope, Bag 4 is the Discovery stand (which is the best stand I've ever built it's gorgeous), Bags 5/6 are the basic Discovery frame, Bag 7 adds the angled outer hull (this step is incredibly fun), Bag 8 adds the mechanism for the landing gear, Bag 9 the floor of the cargo hold and the wing covers, Bag 10 the main engines, Bag 11 the rear of the Cargo hold and part of the tail fin, Bag 12 the sides of the cargo hold and the cargo controls, Bag 13 finishes the cargo hold (ugh, 24 silvery stickers), Bag 14 adds the nose, Bag 15 the tail fin and rudders, Bag 16 the side thrusters, and Bag 17 the cockpit and additional Hubble stand. Half or even a third of that amount of bags would've been entirely sufficient, but I guess this way the Discovery is very beginner friendly. Why the whole build itself is separated into seventeen bagged steps, I don't understand. Generally, 500 steps for 2354 pieces make for an easy build, though only eigthy pages make for very busy pictures. (For the first part of my review, concerning shipping, packaging, and the Hubble Telescope, see here.)Īll in all, the Space Shuttle Discovery is one of the best sets I've ever built, matching the Saturn V rocket in genius. ![]()
