Nah, try this one:

Which version of "The Thing" is the saucer from?That's a good question, the "original" with James Arness as the alien "monster" or the remake by John Carpenter that was far closer to the original source material, John W. Campbell's classic "Who Goes There?" (there's some interesting personal history in the inspiration for Campbell's story).

Fantastic Plastic Models Re-Release Survey 2017
Over the past few years, we have received dozens of requests (and orders) for many of our "retired" kits. With the exception of our "Star Wars"-related products -- which we can no longer sell due to that pesky 2009 C&D from LucasFilm -- we are happy to bring these classic kits out of retirement...if demand is sufficient to justify the costs of a new production run.
Which retired kits would you like to see back in the Virtual Museum Store? Here's your chance to tell us.
The linked survey below -- which appears on our website -- lists the retired kits we regularly get requests for. Look over the list and vote for your favorite(s). Yes, you can vote for more than one.
[url]http://fantastic-plastic.com/re-release-survey.html[/url] ([url]http://fantastic-plastic.com/re-release-survey.html[/url])
A kit needs at least 50 votes to be considered viable for resurrection. Please, only cast a vote if you are serious about buying the kit within the next 12 months. This is the only way we can make an economically sound decision.
Please submit your choice(s) before June 15, 2017.
Until then...
I know someone who has 3 of these on order, and no, it's not me
Cool! I'm about halfway through season 2...took me a long while to get into this series.
Looks a bit on the rough side. ::)Might be more the build than the kit, mind.

Here's a question for Evan, is that cockpit very similar to the B-2's ?
The interesting thing is that it was still to have been sub-sonic (albeit just below Mach 1) and yet it looks so much faster:

Wasn’t there a plan to build giant rockets, tow them out to sea, flood some tank to make it float upright and then launch it? Sounds like perhaps it was that sea dragon. Talk about water pollution!!
Seeing all those "Stealth" releases is spooky, during a current cleanup I found the old Italeri 1/72 SR75 Penetrator and Thunderdart kit. Forgot how big that was.Carl W./The Big Gimper is looking for a Thunderdart if you are looking to get rid of it...
The interesting thing is that it was still to have been sub-sonic (albeit just below Mach 1) and yet it looks so much faster:INteresting, the same engines as the "as manufactured" B-2A and the same nominal crew (looks like they had provisions for adding two more crew members, much as the B-2A has provisions for adding one more). Since the B-2A was originally intended to be a high-altitude design, up until the major redesign in '83-'84, I could almost see the two designs as being complimentary and sharing a lot of systems commonality.

COMING SOON: The Pathfinder atomic-powered space shuttle from Apple +'s alternate history series, "For All Mankind." This all-resin kit was mastered by Alfred Wong in 1:200 scale and is 6.5 inches long. Price will be $70.00 plus shipping. Display stand included!
I am sure Greg has 4, maybe 5 on order.
Ohh... very tempting. MCRN ships from The Expanse are nifty. However I am pretty sure the price will temper any need to have this.
1/48 XRV (Experimental Re-Entry Vehicle) from "Marooned" (1968)Go big!! Do a 1/48 Titan II or III to launch it! Modelling the eye of the hurricane for the launch could be "interesting".
STATUS: IN STOCK
PRICE: $80.00 + Shipping
David Jansen, James Franciscus and Gene Hackman are not included.

Lost In Space called. They want their landing gear legs returned immediately or face the wrath of Doctor Smith and his harsh insults!
That design deserves a Dr. Smith insult: "You clinking clanking clattering collection of collagenous junk!"
