About the Design

The 1998 motion picture adaptation of the 1960s TV classic Lost in Space began with a thrilling near-earth space battle featuring Major Don West (Matt LeBlanc) at the controls of a B-Wing-style rocket fighter battling 21st Century terrorists.  Distinguished by its clear, spherical cockpit, the "Bubble Fighter" quickly became a fan favorite -- despite its all-too-brief appearance.

About the Kit

The 1:48 Bubble Fighter was patterned by Alfred Wong and briefly marketed by Scale Model Technologies (SMT) in the early 21st century before going out of business.  In 2008, the pattern was purchased by Fantastic Plastic and reissued in July 2009 along with its original decal art by JBOT..
