Atlantis Models Plastic Model KIT UFO, Clear,Silver

Yeah, a through back from the '60's TV show "The Invaders". Now there's more going on with the human kind than the outer space kind. But that may change. So a neat little kit for sure. You can put lights in it if you desire, not me. Just paint it up right, and on the shelf (K.I.S.S.). If you're a fan, RECOMMENDED.

This is basically the Invaders TV series UFO and a nice kit fairky simple to build and a good value .

This is a reshoot of the classic Aurora/Revel/Monogram kit from the TV show, The Invaders, that was running in the late 1960s. The kit is essentially identical to the original Aurora issue, however these "new" kits do not include the landscape base and fewer figures than were included with the originals. The kit is easy to assemble but does require some filling for gaps and depressions in the plastic, which should surprise no one who has built vintage kits. The engineering of the landing gear hasn't changed any, so if you plan to display the ship with gear down, be aware, if you don't plan to cement the landing gear in place, it will detach when you pick the ship up. There are after market decals available to detail the interior (highly recommended) and an opportunity to fit "regeneration tubes" (clear plastic tubing) for the aliens in the interior. There are two sets of landing lights, one shot in clear plastic affording the opportunity to fit LED lighting if one so desires and the other in standard grey plastic. For an "authentic" appearance, it will be necessary to spray the exterior with a metallic paint as the plastic itself has many swirl marks in it from the molding process. This kit is a perfect size to create a diorama of the opening sequence in the series, describing the moment when David Vincent saw the craft landing in a field on a dark night. Great fun for the money and certainly an opportunity to build this craft for far far less then a Monogram/Aurora kit will cost. Builds into a great replica of a craft from the "Great Race" as the aliens called themselves. Just plain fun.

I had this model when I was a kid and enjoyed putting it together. Everything is exactly the way I remember it. Pieces are made well and easy to put together. Highly recommend this model.

UFO that bring Alians from weird placnate come take you to nice place very nice easy modol kit watche the skeys they on way here

I am a big fan of the show, even though there's no mention of it being the saucer from the invaders show, theres,no doubt that this indeed the saucer from the show , one of my favorite Sci fi series ships., not hard to build mine didn't havecthe defects noted and didn't need painting.i have an led kit I'm going to use in it it's going on display with my other Sci fi show models from listvin Space, voyage to the bottom of the sea , space 1999 and of course Star Trek.

Firstly, bear in mind this is a very old kit. These molds date from the 60's, and were not great then, and are not great now. That being said, expect to do a lot of finishing work if you want this to look nice. For a kit that has only 15 parts (if you're building it to look like it appeared in the show), this thing took me several hours of sanding and filing to get reasonably flat surfaces. I didn't build the interior or use the gimmicky clear top (which was not part of the original kit) The kit is molded in soft silver plastic with a lot of swirls and some sinks here and there, you will have to paint this for it to look presentable. I decided to light mine to look like it did in the show, this required some modifications to fit various boards and LEDs inside, and fabrication of a custom frosted circle for the base, which is solid on the model for some reason. There are various lighting kits available on the web, but I chose to design my own. The model will be mounted on a stalk with a base, and run from AC power so it can be lit permanently. Overall, it's a mediocre kit quality-wise, but not hard to build and brings back some fun nostalgia for the TV show from the 60's. It should be noted that this release by Atlantis says nothing about The Invaders and has no references or pictures from the show, obviously they don't have the copyright to that. It is the ship from the show, and it is the kit which was originally released with box art from the show.

Box ***** just like the Aurora boxes of late 60s Scales ****out at 1/72 +/- Room for detailing *****. As for warmth----no way,these aliens were stone killers and they regarded humans as an infestation of planet Earth. Sheerness while not in the dictionary the clear parts are excellent for coloring and back lighting. A great blast from the time when Aurora Models. dominated the shelves. My thanks and sincere compliments to Atlantis plastic models for this revival.How to top this: The old Aurora MBT-70 or Sea LabBill Hodges
