New Horizons and Atlas V 551
The last model of 2021 and the first of 2022.
There are several very nice examples of the NASA New Horizon's Space craft available in a variety of detail and skill levels. And some very masterful self-design versions. I selected Zack's version and rescaled it to 1:25. It was a good build and I can tell that he spent a lot of time matching photos of the actual craft rather than the many 3D renders. I also liked that he included the foil covering for the RTG, and it fit so well, that I decided not to glue it so I could show off features otherwise hidden. One thing I haven't yet added was the engine bell. I need to decide how I will display it before adding that final detail.
