I think the FP Model is only 12 inches across. <br />Atomic City and I think AJA Models made an attempt to do a 30 inch (1/3 studio scale) Space Station, But it doesn't lend itself well to becoming a model kit. The problem I think lies in the second wheel and all that frame work. How does one make those frames into usable parts for a kit? Especially a 30 inches. Needless to Atomic City quit the attempt, though I'm not sure about AJA Models.-Warren Zoellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12662160471738573334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-554301473766836128.post-38990015010978078572013-01-14T16:15:55.475-07:002013-01-14T16:15:55.475-07:00It's amazing the interest that these models re...It's amazing the interest that these models represent then we see them a few seconds in the film !<br />Have you seen the Space Station from Fantastic Plastic ?
