Moebius new Orion

[joberg]

Well, at about 29`` in length, this should be good for the 2001 fans. Not too small (Airfix, Aurora, Moebius) and not too big (Capt. Cardboard).
Didn`t see the price yet.

Looks like you may have to make a new docking bay to accommodate this one joberg .

I believe they are also coming out with a new 1/350 scale version:

Saw the placard with Aries 1b, on the table in the video, anyone know what scale it will be?

 

[CessnaDriver]

Fantastic. Especially as I was never blessed with long ago paid for Capt Cardboard shipment.

What a stunning kit ! I really hope it will see the light of the day !!!

 

[Madhatter]

Oh I like that! Is it resin?

Nothing is finalized, but given it is from Moebius, it should be plastic.

The 1:350 would be, I think, the right size for my 2001 Docking Bay

based on the price of their 1:144 discovery, i cringe at what that is going to cost.

Looks very nicely detailed, at least compared to the old model.

A light sanding of the raised panels would be ticket to an accurate model. Easy to do

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm already planning out how to assemble and paint it already.

It really does look great i am sure the price will stay make it worth it.

I read that bc of licensing costs, there will be no Pan-Am decals included. Are you guys going to print your own or.....?

 

[TazMan2000]

I thought Pan Am went bankrupt, but apparently, after looking it up, a small vestige still exists.

It is not a difficult logo to replicate.

Like with the smaller model there will most likely be an assortment of aftermarket decals and parts (photo etched & resin)

 

[TazMan2000]

An SVG file is included, so this can be easily sized.

Hi fellow 2001 fans.
I've been told this Orion is apparently 1/72 scale. The model I created for Atomic City was estimated between 1/48 and 1/55th scale. But it is "studio scale".
I have not been contacted to advise on the patterning for this kit. But hope i do.... i can see it has accuracy problems.
The (Moebius) Aries1b is a styrene re-creation of my resin 1/48 Aries 1b I created and sold many years ago.
Price estimates for each kit will be over $200. Both kits are not certain to be produced.
Pan-Am still owns copyright and license privileges. It is VERY expensive to license anything through them.
