JUNO mission - return to Jupiter

The Juno spaceprobe is available at Lower Hudson Valley (in case you missed your regular check of Jon's site). Modelled at 1:24, the detail bits are easier to work with though you can build it at any scale you like. http://jleslie48.com

BTW: there's also one for the Braille scale clan at ECardmodels - designed to go with the AtlasV-551 launcher at 1:96. http://www.ecardmodels.com

And today it went on it's way to Jupiter!

Is it time to build our models to commemorate the occassion?

Cheers!

nice looking model, what i wanna know is why they bothered doing some lego plastic figures and then put them in lead if it was me i would just have well done the lego parts as lead and hey presto no problem not like some starman is going to be phoning up lego going "hey the lead content in that lego peice was way off the scale. I am getting my lawyer to sue you people at lego for endangering young Jupi in such a manner.

Update:
Paper Kosmonaut's detailing kit for Juno is also available at Lower Hudson Valley. Design/build thread in PASA.

NASA/JPL adaptation coming soon ...

And there's a modified version of Juno (easier build, better instructions) with Dave Doody's input available here - Juno Spacecraft 1:50 Scale Model . I think this is the NASA-JPL contribution, though the JPL/NASA website still doesn't have the model up.
