Anybody heard when the small 1/350 Seaview is being released ? I thought it was sometime in August but I can't find anything on Moebius' website. Anyone hear anything ?

It says on the CultTV site that he is expecting them in about a week.

I think it may be due in to shops by next week- grab a couple because the build up I saw looks perfect- a definitive Seaview in this scale!

Currently under inspection in customs. Hopefully they release soon!

This is great news ! I am so up for this kit ! It'll look soooooo great on the shelf next to my Polar Lights 8-window Seaview !

Yep, got this one on preorder as well from Steve. I converted the polar lights reissue of the Aurora kit into the 4 window version to go along with my Aurora original and their on the shelf side by side. I have a feeling that once I get the new Moebius version...my cobbled together version will go in the reserve fleet. In the closet! Another much antisipated kit finally comes to light. Thanks once again to Moebius! I just realized that I have built more Seaviews than Enterprises! I have the 39 inch Moebius, 2 Seaviews from Lunar, one Polar Lights, one Aurora and That beautifull Pink resin MIM kit. Also one from Midori of Japan. That makes 7 so far by my count and the new 1/350 will make 8! Yes..life is good!

Has customs released them yet? An anxious modeling world awaits!

Finally out of customs, most all should be on the road on Tuesday.

Woohoo!

Thank you Moebius!!!!!!

God Luv ya Man!

Woohoo is right! Just called my LHS and he said he'd set one aside and call me when his order arrives from Moebius. He said he'd been asked about this kit by 5 or 6 other sci-fi modellers in his store. I think this will really be a big seller for Moebius.

I just ordered one. I hope it comes before I have to go out of town for a week on business in two weeks so I'll something to do in the hotel on the down time.

Does anyone know if this comes with a detailed control room ? What about the FS bay ?
I've seen the PE set offered by Paragrafix but wondered what comes with the kit.

I plan on lighting mine.

No interior included in kit...

Yeah. I hear that. Much as I'd like to get the PE set it's a little pricey for such a small kit. At least for me that is.

The kit doesn't have a control room or Flying Sub bay. The etch set comes with both (well, just the observation lounge of the control room, but it includes the ceiling girders), as well as crew and a bunch of other goodies.

Well dang... on second thought that may just be too good to pass up ! I have the PE set for the large Seaview and the quality is amazing. I have no doubt the PE for the smaller version will be just as good !

I can hardly wait for this! To remain a loyal customer of Steve's, I've ordered both the 1/350 Seaview and Paulbo's PE accurizing sheet from him, and in order to keep my LHS in business and to promote interest in Moebius kits, I've ordered one from them as well.
I will build one OOB and have it on display at the LHS, and I'll build my second one with the PE and put it on display here at my office. :wave:

Paid for my preorder today! Steve at culttvman says he will be shipping them the week of the 15th! Get em while there hot!

Well, do it in private, will ya?

I just took some new scans of the etch. I'm always amazed that as much of the detail I design in makes it to the finished product. Even the horizontal dials of the ballast controls came through perfectly.

Here are some shots of the Observation Lounge (once in the gallery, click on the images again to view them full-size):

And here are some extreme closeups I took with my microscope:

(The top numbers in the microscope shots are 0.1mm apart while at the bottom they're 1/16 inch apart.)

Wow that looks real nice! Superb detail. Is the guy above the number 13 looking thru the periscope or just having a stretch?

Okay. I took the plunge and ordered the PE set from CultTVMan. Now to finish up my current project so i can get started on my wee Seaview as soon as it arrives.

I actually designed him to be holding binoculars (for standing on the sail), but stretching's another good option ;)

That makes sense. The perisope island would be located further back in the sub behind the pressure/blast doors which is as far back as your PE extends.

maybe he's sunning himself on the hull.

Catchin' some rays..How about a teeny-tiny Barbara Eden in a bikini to keep him company?

Now that would be great... if it were the 8 window Seaview. :tongue:

Oooh good point !

I think I'll wait to get mine at John Paynes favorite Hobby Store Hi Way Hobby when I travel down and pass there.My friend has to pass Hi Way Hobby House when he comes down from Albany N.Y.There prices are reasonable and they will have a ton of Seaviews I'm sure.

Drat! I wish I'd thought of that! :thumbsup:

Hi Folks,I have a feeling that New Seaview kit will start appearing in stores this week(hopefully)I think we have a good shot at it.A while back I don't belive Moebius was going to do a smaller Seaview kit and I'm very happy they changed their mind.This kit will be fun to build and a great companion piece for the Aurora(Polar Lights Seaview)Guy Schlicter

Should have hit some stores already, but it should be in most this upcoming week. Holiday weekend slowed things down.

Sweet !

No one ever posted a picture of the model as it comes in the box. Is the hull glued together in halves like the old one?

Why dont you buy one and show us?

No one ever posted a picture of the model as it comes in the box. Is the hull glued together in halves like the old one?Haven't seen the kit yet, but since it's a scaled-down version of the big Seaview, I'd hazard a guess that the parts breakdown is basically the same. Left and right hull halves with a separate front bottom piece because of draft and undercut issues with the manta fins. No need to split the hull into front and rear sections, of course, on a model that's just over 14 inches long.

Am I warm?

There are two hull halves, with a lower insert for the Flying Sub bay area.

I just got a notification that i should have my Seaview by the 18th , this Friday! I will post pics asap

Maybe mine will be here too.

I got an e-mail earlier today that my blue Seaview shipped today.

That was quick!

My hobby shop says the place they get their models from shows the Seaview is on backorder. No telling when it will get here.

Pick one up today at the local hobby shop. Very nice little kit in the spirit of Aurora!

Can you take pics?

It's Here!! The Seaview has arrived!!!!!! Please see the pics!

Thanks
