NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (1/85)

This 1/85 scale brick model from CaDA Bricks recreates the NASA Space Shuttle Discovery, one of the most recognisable spacecraft in modern history. With its distinctive orbiter shape, delta wings, and detailed markings, the model captures the appearance of the shuttle in a compact but highly detailed form. As part of the brick kit range, it combines an engaging build process with a visually impressive display piece.

Constructed from 1,827 pieces, the model offers a high level of detail across its exterior and internal features. Printed elements are used to reproduce the NASA insignia, United States flag, and other markings, avoiding the need for stickers and helping maintain a consistent finish. The overall proportions reflect the real spacecraft, with a wingspan and length that give it strong visual presence once assembled.

The model includes a range of functional features that add depth to the build. The cockpit can be opened, while the cargo bay doors reveal an interior space that can be displayed open or closed. A robotic arm is included and can be positioned as required, and the landing gear can be extended or retracted. These elements help move the model beyond a static display, allowing for different presentation options once completed.

Space Shuttle Discovery was one of NASA’s most important orbiters, completing numerous missions between 1984 and 2011. Among its many achievements, it played a key role in the deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope in 1990, a milestone that transformed our understanding of the universe. Discovery also contributed to the construction and servicing of the International Space Station, making it one of the most flown and historically significant spacecraft in the shuttle programme. This model reflects that legacy, offering a detailed representation of a vehicle that helped define a generation of space exploration.
