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.

Hi Adam,
What do you see as wrong with this, besides the panels and some of the details being overly large? When a model gets to the stage of the first photo, the probably aren't going to invest in your expertise, I think.
Pan Am obviously owns their logo, but I don't think they have rights to the actual model, do they? It would be a shame if this doesn't get released. I I built the original Airfix kit, and while the Studio Scale one is great, it would be a little too big for me, so this size would be a happy medium.
