Next up is a model for Fantastic Plastic… the General Atomics “Orion Battleship” in 1/288 scale. This vehicle was described in Aerospace Projects Review issue V2N2. The model will be produced via stereolithography, using as a basis a modified version of the CAD model I created for that issue of APR. Diameter over the pusher plate will be 9 cm/3.6 inches; overall length will be 27 cm/10.6 inches. It will include parts allowing it to be built as shown here… three full primary weapons bays and two landing boat bays with boats (the boats will be different than shown here, as I’ve found new info since V2N2 came out, changing the configuration of the boats notably).

Note: the 10-meter Orion shown here is not being produced for Fantastic Plastic.

    I sent out a tweet alerting my group to the news.
