It's the blue circular area on top.

That'll give you some idea
of the size of the finished model.
HOLY GUACAMOLE!

This is going to be a great kit- perfect size for super detailing and accurate.
I am so looking forward to this...

So, is this going to be bigger than the Lunar Models version from the nineties?
It would seem to be larger based on that part, but photos can be deceptive...
Can't wait! Will the VooDoo Lighting kit work on this?

Yes indeed Flying Sub fans. there it is! That is a built and painted test shot...pretty much what the actual kit will look like!
It's sitting on a table about 5 feet from me right now! Just finished it on Saturday evening!
I'm still trying to get yellow paint off a couple fingernails!
BTW that's my left hand in the first photo!

I believe that VoodooFX has something planned for this. After all, a model this size and quality demands to be lit.

Just An Illusion is working on something wonderful as well; I'm glad that I ordered TWO of these beauties!
Thank you, Frank, you have made me/us VERY happy modellers! :hat:

Any chance of re-taking that FS prototype picture showing something in it for scale? You can use your left hand again :)

I think the only larger versions are fiberglas models that don't include the front and rear bulkhead details. Man, I can't WAIT to get this model--I'm even more excited about it than the Seaview...

Same here. I would consider it a grail ship except I do have the old Aurora kits. Those were OK, but this is going to be spectacular.
A rather crude metaphor- the Aurora kit was the equivalent of looking at native pictures in National Geographic, this kit is a major budget porn film.



In 3D
