Just a quick refresh of an old Aurora Orion  ;)

Well, he definately wouldn't have picked Pan Am! :lol:  Love this one Mart, classic sci-fi design that looks like a pretty plausible space plane.  Nice one!

Real good scheme Mart, always prefered the Aurora kit over the Airfix one. Will be buying the new Moebius kit when it comes out next year ($29.99). Preliminary boxart here for the Space Clipper and the Viper MkVII. http://culttvman.com/main/?p=14159

Unfortunately those dollars will probably translate directly into pounds when those kits get to this side of the pond.  It's a shame because I might otherwise pick several of them up.

Nice to see you back Mart,
Very nice model indeed, I have something similar that I was building for SHADO, but it is on hold now. Maybe I should have looked for one of these to convert instead of carving up yet another 1/144th concorde :wacko:
Cheers,

Mossie mate........you know where to look and who to ask when these come out........guess which company imports them to the UK?
Everything looks better with the addition of British Roundels!

Nice build.  I am also planning a couple of the new Moebius ones.

Mossie, if the price is too high and you want several, I can probably ship them for less then the price hike, just saying.

The Aurora 'Orion' is more detailed than the Airfix one......and alot harder to get!
Yes, I'll be buying her when she comes back out! When Aurora brought out the Orion and MoonBus, in 1974 (I think?) I could only get the MoonBus, and buying the Airfix Orion. Oh, joy...............when?
Glenn

PS I made the same mistake as Kubrick, I made my second Airfix Orion as Ansett Space Services.........woops!
