Just when you thought I had run out of ways to feature the TWA Moonliner....it's baaaack!
Well, sort of. Actually this one is branded a Mars Liner. It's still the same classic plastic model mold, however, and that's kind of the point in this case. You see, Bob Wilson had this kit in his stash. It was produced for the 1999 International Plastic Model Society's convention in Orlando Florida. Here are the pictures:
 |
| The instructions were photocopies of the originals, except for the front and back pages. Here you can read about this edition of the kit. |
 |
| This is the copied part... |
 |
| The back showed how to paint the special base you got with the kit. |
 |
| The kit. It's pretty small (as I've pointed out before) and therefore wouldn't work for plastic model conversion. What were they thinking??? |
 |
| The base, which I think looks more like the moon than Mars, but what the heck. This part is very heavy, by the way... |
 |
| This is kit number 527, by the way... |
 |
| The special convention decals. Notice TWA isn't featured. |
So there you have it! Bob's kit now resides with my rocket stuff, and I'm glad to have it! And I may actually be completely out of Disney TWA Moonliner stuff.....but probably not!
Until next time, fly 'em fast and high!
