Got mine this morning in the U.K. from CultTVMan. Seven days to ship to the U.K. which is excellent. Been waiting 52 years for this one! I’m going to wait and see what Paragrafix and other after market companies do before I start on it.

Looks like a really cool kit! Can’t wait to see you build it! Lots of detail on all the parts and loads of opportunities to light this kit up. I was at Hobby Lobby yesterday, and they are clearing out the Man on the Moon kit for $8.45! I thought I got a good deal when they were 40% off. Just a FYI! Happy days and model on! 😎

Huge kit with great deatail for sure, and priced accordingly, but as expensive as it is, I would get it if it was 1/35 instead. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

My kit arrived last week and yes it's an impressive kit The only 'negatives' are the seam lines on the main dome where you can see there were five parts to the mold and the lack of any upper detail above the horizontal engine rings. Which you can see on the original film miniature that was auctioned a couple of years ago. Also it's strange there was no 'sumo' decal for the TV screen or figures. But I am sure the aftermarket peeps will address this along with some PE to jazz up the engines.

Thanks for the kit revel and reviewing it. I have a question could you tell us what the diameter of the Aries 2b model - thanks
@kenspriggs5687
@kenspriggs5687 2 жыл бұрын
The diameter of the sphere at the center and widest point is 9 1/2 inches. It will be wider with the added side retro thruster units and taller because of the engines and landing gear.

I am right along with you Ken. I received my example about a week ago and am amped to finally build this model. I also waited to build this ship since the 1960's first release of the movie. I'm still planning how I'm going to light mine. Enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What about using magnets between the upper and lower half for power and mounting? Then you would only have one power supply!

Thanks Peter! I’ll get a better idea once I start building it, looks like there are pegs that connect them, may be able to replace them with magnets.

Yeah, that would have been easy to include. I found some 1/48 military figures at an IPMS convention today that I’m modifying for the pilots and Floyd. Shapeways has really cool figures of the stewardesses that I ordered as well.
