Any volunteers??

Posted by cassibill on Wednesday, April 7, 2004 3:18 PM

I'm trying to compile a list of 1/144 scale kits. I know Gungams are in this scale and was wondering if someone here would like to contribute that part. I just started trying to organize info on my site and any suggestions and contributions would be much welcome. In fact any thing 1/144 is welcome.

Are you just looking for the names of Sci-Fi kits that have been issued in that scale?

Bassically I'm coming up with a list of all kits, conversions, etc in 1/144 scale. This is mostly planes and a few other subjects and space/Sci-Fi. The Sci-Fi kits aren't something I'm into and thus I have know idea what's out there. I'm arranging stuff under type then by subject. Aircraft-(Insert plane) then listing the kits by maker with details like finished size, #of pieces, skill level, etc. Later I'm gonna try linking the kit with photos of finished examples. Right now w/ 3 weeks left of school things are getting crazy but I'm going through issues of FSM one at a time to start. I figured this would be the place to find out about 1/144 Sci-Fi. Any help is welcome. Even non-Sci-Fi.

Thanks Hugedom!!! Jeff Herne has recently fell in love with 1/44 scale planes and we "micro builders" started discussing what was out there in 1/144. 1/72 and 1/48 scale have complete online lists so I'm trying a 1/144. Slow, very slow but sure.

THANKS!!!! I added them to the list, but I'm not sure how to list them. You might want to check and see if I'm on track before I really mix things up.

Looks pretty good to me! I noticed that you have all the Space Clippers marked as having Pan Am decals. I don't think they all had Pan Am decals, some were more generic and I believe were just called Orion. You also Need to highlight the subjects for the Lark kits. My 2 cents [2c]

As promised here is more.

MPC
#1-1906 Desert Chase(Raiders of the Lost Ark, I know not really Sci-Fi but I'll put it here)
#1-1974 B-Wing Fighter
#1-2302 Cyberhawk (Laser Warrior series)
#1-2303 Sky Viper (Laser Warrior series)
#1-2304 Laser Fox (Laser Warrior series)
#1-2305 Dredge (Laser Warrior series)
#1-2307 Tarantula Combat Warrior (Laser Warrior series)
Note: The Laser Warrior series is ex-Imai
#8780 B-Wing Fighter/gold plated
Red Baron
#002 Orion Shuttle (Note: resin kit)
Revell
#4306 Moonraker Shuttle
#4307 Moonraker Shuttle w/ Boosters
#4533 Power Satellite
#4534 Laser Battle Stations
#4705 Moonraker Shuttle w/Boosters
#4709 Moonraker Shuttle w/Boosters
#8001 Alien Invader w/Lights
USAirfix#70060 Orion: 2001

Well that is all the 1/144 Sci-Fi kits I know of but don't worry we'll do A/C next! Wink [;)]

Thanks Woody!! I highlighted the two subjects and adjusted the listing so only the two specifically PAA kits had decal listings. I'm late for dinner and will have to and the new ones later. Thanks so much!!

I've got to put the Sci-Fi on its own page. I added the new ones and then the compurter informed me I was over page size and I lost the work. Disapprove [V]

I found this review-
http://www.starshipmodeler.com/2001/pre_airfix_orion.htm
Any idea WHICH Airfix kit it is? It gives parts counts and other tech specs that could come in handy.

Yuck I hate those alternate markings! They both look like the most recent Airfix release to me. The only difference from the original Aurora kit is of course the packaging. I did notice that it looks like they must have included the Pan Am decals with all releases of this kit. I'm kicking myself now because I decided not to bid on an Airfix release of this kit on account of the yucky markings. It went cheap!

What's the kit number for the recent release? 6171? I must have missed it or mistyped it on the list.
