Metal Earth: Space Shuttle Launch Kit

Over 15 stories tall, the external tank flanked by two booster rockets, enabled the space shuttle to escape Earth’s gravity and send it into orbit. The two booster rockets would burn 9 tons of fuel per second, at a velocity of 3000 miles per hour. Shuttle nameplates included: Atlantis, Discovery, Endeavor and Enterprise.
