Model of Metop now available.

Hello group,





With great pride I announce my newest model: Metop.



It was a tremendous job to design this model. Even Eumetsat themselves could not provide me with all of the drawings that I needed,

so I had to extract many sizes from a rather large amount (fortunately) of pictures I could find and from some that were send to me.



I knew this one wouldn't be easy, but I think I pulled it off. Once built, the model looks quite nice, if I say so myself.



This model has a fair amount of small parts, therefor MANY spare parts were added to the sheets. I think many modelers who will

try to build this one will thank me for it, soon enough....!! |-)

Because this model would be too difficult for beginners, I advised Eumetsat to have a second, much easier kit to be made. Still not an easy

kit, but at least many of all the small parts have been omitted.

Both are now available from Eumetsat's website. Click on the red circle (spacecraft), then scroll down.

Click on the model of your choice. Two symbols will appear: a link chain and a magnifying glass. Click on the link to continue.

The fourth model, Meteosat 7, will be available, too. However, it can also be downloaded from my own website. The models on

Learning Zone only have different logos added.



One of my rewards for making these models is an invitation to the headquarters of Eumetsat, in July. By then, Meteosat 11 will

be launched and I am invited to go to Darmstadt, Germany. Pictures of that visit will be uploaded to my website, afterwards.

For those of you who need a direct link:

Welcome to the EUMETSAT Learning Zone





I would like to know who will actually build the model and I am looking forward to seeing the pictures of the build process.

If you need help, I am only a few key strokes away...!!!!
