The Tomohawk Kid Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) I'm looking forward to the lifting bodies, but the LOK Moonship looks uber cool and may well dip for that too.

Toe Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 How accurate are they though with timings? Both the lifting bodies have a release of 2016? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Allen B. Ury Fantastic Plastic Models" So we can take it, it is a typo on the website. Tommo Edited March 24, 2019 by The Tomohawk Kid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinky coffeeboat Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I like the look of the Mars lander, kind of Space Shuttle meets traditional rocket. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I've never built a spaceship model but I just find these absurdly exciting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tomohawk Kid Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) 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! Tommo.

The Tomohawk Kid Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 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." Tommo. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
