About the Design

The centerpiece of director Ridley Scott's pseudo-"Alien" prequel, "Prometheus" is a 22nd century Starship designed and built by the super-power Weyland Corporation. The spacecraft is capable of both deep space and atmospheric flight; its four powerful engines can be rotated so as to allow the massive ship to land vertically on a planet's surface.

​Although apparently capable of faster-than-light travel, the vast distances to be covered even at lightspeed require that all crewmembers -- save for the occasional on-board android -- spend most of the trip in suspended animation.

About the Kit

The 1:500 Prometheus kit was released by Fantastic Plastic Models in 2015. The kit came with parts to build the starship in either its "in-flight" or landed configurations. (This build-up is obviously the latter.)

No decals were included with the kit; all markings are painted.
