Moebius News: New Space Clipper kits & Aries Update
Moebius Models was showing some new product at the recent IPMS National Convention in Las Vegas. The big news is an all new 2001 Space Clipper. The new model will be approximately 29 inches long and 1:72 scale. It is an all new, accurate version of the spacecraft, based on all the latest information and research. The kit will include a passenger cabin and cockpit. It will not include Pan Am decals. Final price has not been set, but is expect to be between $150 and $200. (note: we have edited the images to remove other objects on the table… )
Aries Update – the 1:48 scale 2001 Aries is in final development but the mock up was not available for viewing. The Aries will have an interior, landing gear and more details. The price is now expected to be between $200 and $250, which is higher than originally projected.
Test shots of a 1:350 scale Space Clipper were also on display. This is scaled down from the Moebius/Aurora design. This will be between $20 and $25.
The 2001 kits are available to preorder in the CultTVman Hobbyshop. Moebius is working to get them out before the end of the year. As always, there could be delays.
