Howdy!
I am currently building a model that's very near and dear to my heart. The 18" 1/35 Jupiter 2 from Moebius, as she looked in the first season.
What does that mean you ask??
Well an out of box build will give you the Jupiter 2 as she looked in the latter part of year three...To replicate the look I wanted from the first season(and best season), many modifications were needed. I also will be displaying the ship on the launch cradle(not exactly accurate, as the f' Gemini 12 miniature was used for the lift of sequence), with a expanding diorama as funds permit!!
Here are some of the mods I performed..
Opening and closing airlock hatches.
Ceiling beams(the kit does not include any ceiling beams).
Scratch-built details,Atomic Clock, ultra detail of freezing tube area, Season one Communication station,
Folding Pilots seat(The first season only had one pilot's seat, which when not in use, was folded and stowed in the central area of the main console.(Starting in year 2,a Radar scanner was added, and another Pilot's seat).
Season one coloring(the Jupiter 2 was a light grey, not silver in year one)..Anyhoo, hear are some pics, ....
