Flying Sub 1/32 VTTBOTS

This is a very nice model kit of the Flying Sub from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. There's lots of interior detail and everything is very nicely molded. It's big though. It would have been nice to have a figure or two for the interior and a decal for the stand but overall I'd say it's one of the nicest models I've ever put together.

This model, is an example of what I call a quality kit. Very well done ,and accurate. I decided to add to the detail by getting accessories to enhance it, and it works. The fly sub shooting minature doesn't look better, and that's saying something. I can recommend this kit fully, but take your time with it, its worth it.

This is a great model. Out of the box, it is just a display model, but I customized it to be a R/C toy. The 1/32 scale is big enough to add lighting and ballast tanks and underwater motors. (Disclaimer: lighting, ballast tanks, underwater motors are not part of the kit. I'm just telling you how easy it is to start with this static display model and enhance it to be a fully functional model submarine.) Also, Paragrafix has some detailing add-ons for this kit.

I am getting older. That means I have a longer memory of television and what was memorable. Having eventually served in the active Navy, many instances of the script of 'Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea' made me roll my eyes. That doesn't remotely remove the excitement of FS -1 (the Flying Sub) in my memory. I was taken by the prospect of being able to have a large scale model of this iconic TV creation. I was not disappointed. A highly detailed plastic assembly model in 1/32 scale. Admiral Nelson and Captain Crane figures supplied.The assembly sheet needs full attention, but overall a fine attention to detail and I must imagine that a lot of affection went into the construction model and finished product. If you remember the original broadcast or have found the show in DVD release - memories don't get better than having the completed model 'collecting' dust on a bookshelf. I heartily recommend this model kit.

As typical, the Mobius model looks great, detail is a good as it gets. Parts nicely molded & fit together good.One negative remark is the instruction sheet is almost useless, other than some photos and a paint chart, there's no step by step build. Going to definitely need some guesswork painting and building this one.5 stars easily for the model itself, minus 1 star for lame instructions.

Leave it to Moebius to come out with this. It's not just your average model kit to build...but LOTS of fine detail, and well fitting parts. It takes time to build, but the end result is well worth it. If you enjoy building plastic scale models, you will love this kit.

Model is great but it came with a big hole in the box. Lucky the model was not damaged. Go to a hobby shop or swap meet to get model kits, don't risk damage.

I also like the fact that the instructions come with some color photos.
