Thanks Jamie. If the molds can’t be found and you wish to have an old MPC/Airfix kit as a pattern for reverse-engineering a new mold then I have an unmade old Airfix kit that I would be happy to donate. Alternatively a brand new 1/72 kit would be awesome, as would a kit of the Ultraprobe Command Module. All the best from England.

Lighting this one should be quite easy compared to many models, and there is room for some creativity to have a hybrid battery powered vs. electrical source since it is limited. This has been on my wish list a lots of years…

The MPC kit was fine back in the day, but the mold was too simple. This is going to be awesome, and yes, I am buying one upon release. Thanks for the effort to put this forthcoming beauty out.

We hope to have it out by the end of this year. You can place a preorder with many retailers. It should retail in the $100 ballpark. Some have it for less.

We could use an old kit as a master for a new one, but the old kit wasn’t very accurate. If we were to invest tooling dollars into it, wouldn’t we be better off making it right?

We are targeting before the end of the year. Possibly as soon as October, but that is a bit of a long shot. The true indicator will be the quality of the first batch of test shots. The fewer the problems with them, the quicker the kit will come out.

If we received a lot of feedback that something like that is in demand, we would give it due consideration.

Had a couple of the old MPC kits when I was a teen, but these will be a welcome improvement over those. I’m guessing that your timetable for release is probably looking at close to the end of 2015 or into 2016. I hope my budget will allow me to snag one of these great looking kits.

I am very interested in purchasing such kit. Do u know when it will be available? Is the any way I can be put on an “alert list” when it is so? Do you have an idea of its cost? Do you accept reservations? 🙂 thx for answering me.
