I'm not a Sci-Fi or space modeler exactly, but I love old kits and airliners. So I love the airliner concepts. OK, I'll admit it, I've built a few Star Trek kits and that silly Jetson car. Hey but that's OK around here, right? For you enjoyment and gallery, I've included my Orion III model from 2001: A Space Odyssey. This is the Airfix kit , re-released a few years ago. I had included lighting and the clear tubes it stands on have a device from a lighted dog collar that makes them glow orange. Unfortunately, neither were cooperating at time of the photo session.
