Science4you Glow-in-the-Dark Solar System 3D Model Kit

Model Overview

Explore the planets with a hands-on 3D model kit that combines painting, assembly and astronomy. This Science4you Solar System 3D Glow in the Dark kit lets hobbyists and young builders create a compact solar system model to study planetary alignment and surface appearance. It is presented as a paint-and-build hobby kit designed for creative learning and display, with an emphasis on glow-in-the-dark effects for after-dark viewing.

Specifications & Features

• Product format: 3D solar system model kit
• Display format: paintable planet models with support
• Recommended age: 8 years and up
• Paintable planets with glow-in-the-dark visual effect
• STEAM-inspired activity combining arts, crafts and basic astronomy

Build Experience

Assembly focuses on painting and arranging the planets rather than mechanical construction. The kit encourages creative painting techniques as each planet is customised, then viewed under low light to appreciate the glow-in-the-dark finish. The activity suits hobbyists who enjoy hands-on projects and young model makers exploring spatial relationships within the solar system.

Display & Collection

Once completed, the model measures approximately 38.2 cm and presents as a compact display piece that highlights painted surfaces and luminescent detail. The glow-in-the-dark planets add a visual effect that can enhance a display collection or a personal study area. The finished kit works well alongside other educational models and small-scale displays.
