Fun kit of Moon Base Alpha. Great price from Hobbylinc. I remember this kit as a child and love the upgrades for the re-pop. Highly recommended.

 
"Problems plague this model"

On the surface this appears to be a great looking model. And indeed the tiny Eagle ships and moonbase buildings are nicely detailed. The problems that will drive you crazy are many. The main one being the thin plastic molded moon surface itself. They made this in 2 pieces, meaning you have to actually hand cut one side and then overlap and glue it to other. While the buildings will hide a lot of this obvious line, it really is noticeable on places it doesn't cover. No amount of filling and sanding will hide this flaw. Why not make it 1 piece as the box is big enough?! Also the indentations for proper placement of the buildings is off, and you will never get them properly lined up. The travel tubes (raised on the moonbase) and the entry holes on the buildings won't line up. Add the fact that the base is incredibly flimsy, and the buildings will pop off after gluing if flexed too much makes this model a real pain. I recommend using Loctite Flexible Adhesive to glue the buildings on the base to minimize this problem. Others have pointed out inaccuracies of details like there being only 3 (instead of 5) landing pads, or wrong details in the command center. I can let a lot of that go for the fact that actual design of the show changed on the command center between seasons 1 and 2 of the TV show. Still, aspects of this build are fun (and sometimes tedious) and fans of the show shouldn't let these problems stop you from trying out this model.

Not the most modern of kits.But, with a bit of work it will make a great display. The biggest letdown for me was the flimsy base. I glued and ducked taped brasing underneath and mounted it to a thin mdf board. All other parts are well moulded with more than adequate detail. The addition of the new landing pads and eagles is welcomed. Now all I need to do is quit playing with those tiny eagles, and finally get the model finished, lol.

Due to small parts that could cause a choking hazard please kee away from children 3 years of age and younger.
