I was curious if anyone knows where i could find a model of the drop ship from the movie aliens preferably in 1/48 scale.

Don't think there is a 1/48 scale Dropship...at least I have never ever seen one.  There are a couple of 1/72 scale Dropships floating around but they are hard to find.  The Halcyon kit is probably the nicest one but its been OOP for around 20 years.  There was some other kit that came out not too long ago but I haven't seen it or heard anything about it.

The Halcyon kit is good but requires alot of work to make it movie accurate.  Be prepared to spend close to $100 if you find one...just for the kit.

Also plan on a lot of work if you want a detailed open cargo bay.  The Halcyon kit has zero on that count so the only options to make it look good are with the bay closed or a lot of extra interior work.

There is a 1/48th Kit of the drop ship and APC but...   all resin and Mucho Donairos !!!!

Do a search on Resin illuminati website or The RPF forums  I'm sure you will find it there...

it's a beauty but too much money and too big for me !!!

 

take care !

The 1:48 Dropship and APC were done by the now-defunct SMT out of Canada.  They were mastered by Alfred Wong - see his own buildup at his site:  http://www.alfredsmind.ca/dropshippg.htm.

They show up on Ebay now and again for, as mentioned, Large Sums of Money.

Good luck!
