So... My secret Santa present. (Again I want to say many, many, many thanks to my Sercret Santa.)

It's a big box with a big kit (too big for me :)) but I like the challenge. In fact I'm familiar with airplanes, mostly in 1/72 and a tracked vehicle in 1/24, that's new.

To begin (and to be honest), I've never heard of Lost in Space TV serie before because...

1/ I'm too young I think (24 y.o., and serie was aired during '70 if I'm not wrong)
2/ I'm a french guy :wacko: (don't know if the serie was aired in France)

But, now I know this TV serie. But we are in the fabulous greatest Whiffland. And it'll not be build as the Chariot  ;D

I'm think of an early SAM launcher (maybe during the '50), for my own fictious air force.

best of luck with it.....out of the box it does build up into a very nice model..............biggest problem is all the masking for the 'green house' cos you have to do it inside and out......i know someone who spent over 6 hours just doing the masking.......drove him up the wall  :blink:

But there are masks sets out there for both inside and out.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this.

I am waiting for the smaller version of the kit myself.  Probably still won't be able to afford it but have a better chance.

You could always convert it back to the Thiokol snow tractor it was based on .... :wacko:
