Greenstrawberry's new and bespoke upgrades for Doll & Hobby's 1/35 Lost in Space Chariot offer heaps of detail for sci-fi modellers.
POLAR LIGHTS’ STAR TREK USS GRISSOM AND GREENSTRAWBERRY UPGRADES
Get the lowdown on Polar Lights' new 1/350 Star Trek USS Grissom, along with Greenstrawberry's bespoke upgrades for this kit.
SCI-FI AGGRESSOR BY MPC
A real gem for sci-fi modellers lies in MPC's new 1/48 Space:1999 Hawk Mk IX. It's packed with detail and comes with its own display base.
UPGRADING KHAN’S RELIANT
If you love modelling Star Trek spacecraft, Greenstrawberry's new FruitPACK detail set for the AMT/ERTL USS Reliant is an unmissable product. It contains a feast of resin and photo-etched brass components...but it's not for those on a budget.
MAKING A SPLASH
Arguably, the Thunderbird 1 take-off sequence is one of the most impressive scenes from the TV series Thunderbirds, and the IMAI launch bay has been re-boxed by Adventures in Plastic.
TRANSPARENT TRANSPORTER
Those who grew up with Thunderbirds may remember numerous cutaway diagrams in various books – now modellers can recreate the tantalising systems these depicted inside Thunderbird 2 with Adventures in Plastic’s ‘transparent’ 1/350 scale kit.
VERSATILE VSTOL
Thunderbird 2 was perhaps the ‘jack of all trades’ machine in the classic 1960s TV series, supporting operations on land, sea and air either on its own or via a range of utility vehicles launched from its mid-section pods.
ORBITAL LISTENER
Adventures in Plastic’s Thunderbird 5 is another of the firm’s complex offerings, as an electric motor, gearbox, associated wiring, bulb, switch and pair of magnets is provided along with the decals and 13 styrene runners.
ATOMIC AIRLINER
In the Thunderbirds pilot episode, Trapped in the Sky, International Rescue’s first-ever mission involved saving the Fireflash airliner by landing the huge machine on four elevator cars.
