I think Aoshima did all the different versions in 1/24 scale, total of 4 kits if I recall correctly.
Most of them should still be available.

i've also been meaning to build that kit for the longest time. i saw 3 on the shelves the other day, one for each episode. Metalizers would look good on the body paint too.Big Smile [:D] Good luck!

Here's my time machine, built from the Polar Lights snap-together kit.

This kit is a good value for the price, and the body is plated with a pretty realistic stainless-steel finish.

I hope you like it!

Amt/Ertl came out with a "Back to the Future" trilogy set several years ago. It was only available I believe as part of their Blueprint special. They can still be found on Ebay every once in a while yet. I think I may have 2-3 of the sets in my collection.

I have the polar lights kit. Great value for only 10 bucks and it is still on the store shelves at walmarts and hobby lobby. Also you can build it one of two ways. Either with the plutonium core w/t "lightening rod" attached or the "Mr. Fusion" version. It doesn't state this on the box which I find odd .I'm sure they would sell more kits if they did. i definately would have bought one sooner [would've bought 2 actually!!] if I had known about this option and plus the "stainless steel" finish is sweet!! Also at only 10 bucks a pop it would be easy to modify a "Mr. Fusion" version into the flying version. it even includes both the orange "barcode" license plate from the future and the classic "OUTATIME" plate. I am currently drilling holes for fibre opticls in my dash...Big Smile [:D]
