Mars Rover Perseverance - Metal Earth 3D Model Kit

Bring the exploration of Jezero Crater right to your desk with this incredibly detailed Metal Earth 3D Model Kit featuring both the Mars Rover Perseverance and the Ingenuity Helicopter.

Launched in July 2020, Perseverance is a marvel of modern space exploration. In reality, it's equipped with a plutonium power source and an array of sophisticated instruments designed to seek out signs of ancient life on Mars and gather critical data to pave the way for future manned missions.

This kit also includes Ingenuity, the groundbreaking 4-pound experimental helicopter. To achieve flight in the ultra-thin Martian atmosphere, the real Ingenuity utilizes custom carbon-fiber blades spinning in opposite directions at a staggering 2,400 rpm—many times faster than a helicopter on Earth!

🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:

"When Perseverance touched down on the red planet, I was absolutely glued to the NASA live feed. The engineering behind the 'Seven Minutes of Terror' and the sky crane maneuver is just mind-blowing. This Metal Earth kit does a phenomenal job capturing the complex instruments on the rover and the delicate rotors of Ingenuity. It’s rated 'Challenging' for a reason—so take your time, grab a good pair of precision tweezers or needle-nose pliers, and enjoy the build. It’s the perfect project for those cloudy nights when the observatory dome has to stay closed!"
