This was a fun build of a subject near and dear to my childhood heart- the spaceship from the 1963 TV show, My Favorite Martian. Moebius Models did a fine job on this kit, not many parts but the parts fit was excellent.
The only mods I made involved adding some padding detailing to the cockpit doors, adding a turbofan shaped thingie to the front scoop, and a single LED light behind the instrument panel powered by a 9V battery...
Uncle Martin...

Remarkable!
The figure of Uncle Martin is wonderful, and the shots of the ship with the hatches open caught me by surprise. I don't think I've ever seen the way the hatches were designed to open.

| I really like your illuminated control panel. I think it's even a bit better than Steve Neil's recent restoration of the real prop. The way the cockpit opens always seemed odd to me, but I guess it is an alien spacecraft. It probably made sense to the Martians. |

In the earliest incarnation...perhaps only the pilot episode...the cockpit opening was a windowless, one-piece hatch that lifted off the ship.
