Metal Earth Mars Cruiser

The Metal Earth Mars Cirkáló is a steel model kit that lets you build your own Mars rover. It is inspired by NASA's Spirit and Opportunity rovers, which landed on the Red Planet in January 2004 to explore the surroundings and search for signs of microbial life. Both probes found evidence that water once existed on Mars.

The rovers were originally designed to last 90 days, but thanks to the wind clearing dust from their solar panels, they kept working for over ten years. The parts are finely detailed and are simply punched out of the metal sheets, so no glue is needed. Patience and dexterity are what you will need most.

The kit is recommended for ages 14 and up. Keep it away from children under three, as the small parts can cause choking.
