The CAD model for the 1/48 MOL kit for Fantastic Plastic nears completion. It is being modeled to represent the final generic design, without a whole lot of extra parts to keep costs down. However, the design is such so if you want to model one of the more complex versions, this will be easy to do.
Here is the MOL CAD model shown to scale with a Zenith Star CAD model I’ve built. Because… why not?
The Zenith Star is not planned to be produced as a kit, but rather was produced for the purposes of creating diagrams for a potential book (discussed HERE). Still, it’d make a snazzy – if rather desperately expensive – display model.
The view below shows the planned basic construction of the MOL model. A few external shells supported by internal rigidizing supports.
