How accurate are they though with timings? Both the lifting bodies have a release of 2016?

This is the email I recieved from Allen at Fantastic Plastic yesterday:

 

"The HL-10 and M2-F3 kits are going into casting next month. They should be ready for release in mid-summer. The UFO Moon Mobile has already gone into casting. I hope to release it in June. I'm happy to put you on the waiting list for all three kits. Thanks for your interest.

So we can take it, it is a typo on the website.

Bionic Man was M2-F2.

Check wikipedia, apparently both appeared but I"ll go with the HL-10 serial 804.

Strictly, you only need a bit more than half a Steve Austin figure... you have to scratch build the rest...

For those of you that fancy putting a combo together with LOK Moonship, Fantastic Plastic already manufacture the Soviet lander in 1/48. I saw this beastie when it was on show at the Science Museum a couple years back as part of display of Soviet space hardware. It was big and robust!

Here are all the parts for our upcoming -- and long-awaited -- 1:48 scale Northrop HL-10 lifting body kit. Price should be about $100.00. We're still taking reservations at [email protected]!

Lifted from Fantastic Plastic's FB page:

 

"Finally finished the prototype build of our upcoming 1:48 Northrop HL-10 lifting body. (Yes, it's seen in the opening shots of the famous Six Million Dollar man intro...but it's not the one that crashes. That's the M2-F2 -- which we'll also have out later this year.)

I plan to start offering the kit to people on our reservations list, which now totals about 100. So it's going to be a while before everyone who wants one can get one.

Kits will sell for $80.00 each, plus shipping."
