Big new from 1016 Wonderfest- Moebius Models has acquired the license to produce styrene model kits from '2001: A Space Odyssey'
This was considered by most to be impossible to to all the different people in control of the license.
As of now the only plans are to re-release the Moonbus kit (which Moebius reverse engineered from a reference kit and provided accurate windows as an option), the Orion III Space Plane (a new tool based on the old Aurora kit with a lot of changes). The Orion will have some additional alterations on it's re-release.
A Discovery kit was mentioned but things are still in the very early planning stages right now.
Still very big news- the possibility of having all new styrene kits from this movie- Moebius a history of making accurate model kits with the builder in mind- extra clear pieces and parts breakdown for lighting, early review kits for aftermarket people to start working on so photoetch and enhancements can be ready when the kit debuts- I am very happy they got the license.
