I loved building models kits in the 80’s.
And your right having a vehiclean Industrial look , always makes it believeible.
I did not know they made kits of GA shows, I just found out mattel made figures!Oh yeah, one company or another made almost everything from the Anderson shows. I’ve been lucky enough to find most all of them. I’ve got the complete set of vehicles from Thunderbirds (1-5 and the Mole), the Stingray, the Fireball XL-5, Supercar and the Eagle, Hawk and Moonbase Alpha kits.
And now that I have house, I can actually build and display them. :laugh:

Besides Space: 1999, AMT also produced the line of Star Trek starship related kits in the 70s. Besides the Enterprise (classic tv version), there was the Klingon battlecruiser, Romanian warbird (from the episode “Balance of Terror”), a Phaser, Communicator and Tricorder kit, a statue of Spock fending off a reptile creature, Galileo Shuttlecraft, and one that was semi-ST related, a glow in the dark UFO starcruiser w/ mini shuttle.
Also there was Aurora that put out the Pan-Am shuttle from 2001, and another called Ragnarok Orbital Interceptor which had a detachable fighter.
Round 2 Models has picked up the AMT/Ertl helm and continued on. Almost all of the original Star Trek kits have had the molds redone and rereleased, and the ST line has been greatly expanded upon. Even that glow-in-the-dark ship (The Mysterious UFO) had been rereleased and next year the original non-glowing version, the Leif Ericsson, is coming.
At the iHobby show last month, they showed the Ericsson, Romulan Warbird plus an improved Pan Am Orion Shuttle kit from 2001. That follows on the release this past year of the 2001 Moonbus.
They even hinted around the edges that, after seeing how well the Moonbus did and if the Shuttle does equally well, they may do an Odyssey, something Aurora never got around to.

Revell Monogram reissued “Rommell’s Rod” about a year ago.
RM reupped their relationship with the Rod’s designer, Tom Daniel, and have been rereleasing a lot of his kits (Red Baron, Ice T, Paddy Wagon, Pie Wagon, Tijuana Taxi, T’rantula, etc)
