This is the Moebius kit that can out earlier this year.

It builds into a really nice kit and comes with 3 small Jupiter 2's (2 gear up, 1 gear down) and a cardstock interior.

The fit was outstanding, the only issue was the seams on the 2 spheres.








Here is an incomplete photo showing the interior.

This is exactly the kit I was thinking of when I complained about shipping prices in you Flash Gordon thread!.

I build ALL Lost in Space kits. In fact, I have multiples of most of them (I have a case of Space Pods).

But I'm still saving up to pay for the shipping of THE DERELICT kit! You've done another stellar job...and does my eye detect a Polar Lights J2 with upgraded chairs?

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Brent where in Canada are you?

I'll be in Montreal next month and I could drive one up for you. You would save the shipping.

Unfortunately, I'm a million miles from Montreal...in the delightful Red River Valley of the Western prairie.

Ironically, I usually order my kits from Montreal because that seems to be where the big wholesalers are. That's how I ended up with case lots of many kits...cases were relatively cheap.

I'll likely end up ordering the Derelict from Udisco in Montreal. They are generally my "go-to" folks for this.

The ONLY LIS kit that I don't have multiples of is the Chariot because of it's well-known rubber tread issue. I have one but I didn't want more sitting in storage.

I better order one (two) of those Derelict kits before it goes OOP.

Yup you need 2. One with the doors open and one with them closed!

And yes that is the old PL J2 with the upgraded seats. It has the fusioncore lit also.

One day I'll get the moebius J2

Did you check out my "Inside the Moebius Jupiter 2" thread right here in this forum?

Just scroll down it you haven't seen it.

It's a brilliant kit. I bought two and still have one unbuilt
