I am in the final stages of building this kit and will post images soon. Like rkoenn, I am happy this kit was produced, but disappointed in the overall product. The torso did not fit the legs, which....

Saw these cards when I was a kid, but was not allowed to spend allowance on them. They were astonishingly graphic for cards meant for kids, and this kit does a great job reflecting that artistry. Ki....

If I remember correctly, when this kit was first released back in the early seventies, it could be built as a flying model. I don't know why anyone would have done that, and I built it as a static mo....

This is a treasure. Although the initial launch of Vanguard reached an altitude of about 4 feet, a successful lift off was achieved on March 17, 1958. This was the first success of a burgeoning civi....

This is a re-issue of a classic space program kit. Be aware that it is a model of a proposed design, not quite the configuration of the actual Vanguard satellite. Nevertheless, it's a great addition....

Resin kits used to be the domain of garage kit producers. I'm not sure of the history, but I suspect garage resin kits became a bit more popular when they filled the gap left bu the demise of Aurora.....

Moebius models has done much to reinvigorate figure model building. Their homage to the Universal monsters, and the Aurora kits of them, clearly shows their dedication to an overlooked population of ....

Although I recall Revell releasing the Phantom, I can't remember seeing this model on store shelves in it's initial release. Nevertheless, this is a cool kit. Flash's parts fit well enough and requi....

It's been some time since an affordable model kit of Dracula featured the likeness of Bela Lugosi. Even though this is based on Lugosi's Broadway performance, it fits in quite well with the Moebius U....

Great kit from Moebius to help round out the Universal horror characters. Typical of the Moebius kits is attention to detail and an abundance of customizing parts, like the laboratory glassware. Hav....

Without a doubt, the special effects of the 2005 version of War of the Worlds saved the movie from mediocrity. The design of the war machines was doubtlessly inspired by the original novel, but the a....

This is a re-issue of a classic space program kit. Be aware that it is a model of a proposed design, not quite the configuration of the actual Vanguard satellite. Nevertheless, it's a great addition....

Anyone who grew up during the space age has to appreciate this kit. This kit feature's a nicely executed cut away option that shows the instrumentation carried by the satellite. With patience, this ....

I'm a big fan of Glencoe's salvaging of many of the kits I grew up building. I first built the Jupiter C in 1970 when Hawk re-released it during the Apollo years. The Jupiter C was an adaptation of ....

Glencoe is to be applauded for saving some classic models. The Convair Observation Satellite, originally produced by Strombecker in the mid-1950s, fed that time periods' modelers' hunger for spacecra....

Back in the early days of planning the exploration of space, the prototypical space station was a wheel-shaped habitat that rotated to generate centrifugal gravity. Reality caught up with enthusiasm,....

As a baby-boomer space buff with a modest hobby budget, this is a gem of a find. Highly detailed, this kit honors the Grand Tour Voyager 1 and 2 made to the outer planets back in the 1970s and 80s. ....

Aoshima's dedication to detail is to be applauded. This rendition of the Kaguya probe, which transmitted some of the best Hi-Res images of the lunar surface, is a splendid addition to ant space buff'....

This series of Japanese satellites are satisfactorily detailed and fun to build. The only weak point is that the antenna array could have been die-cut brass. Instead, they are molded in clear plasti....

I really like the detail on this kit for the 1/144 scale. However, in the movie, the war machines always travel in threes. I'm not sure the death ray had to be a two-piece assembly; the seam sort of ....
