Moebius Models 2001-12:
1/350 Orion III Space Clipper
The Moebius 1/350 2001: A Space Odyssey Orion III Space Clipper assembly kit brings a defining icon of cinematic science fiction straight to your workbench. While Moebius has produced the 2001: A Space Odyssey vehicle in larger formats (like the massive 29-inch 1/72 version), code 2001-12 offers the sleek Pan Am commercial space liner in a highly compact, desktop-friendly 1/350 scale.
This sizing makes it a perfect companion piece to display alongside other 1/350 scale spacecraft kits from the movie, such as the massive Discovery XD-1.
Kit Features & Film Details
Streamlined Needle Hull: Features high-precision, crisp tooling that captures the smooth, organic aerodynamic lines required for the vehicle to seamlessly transition from Earth's atmosphere into orbit.
Meticulous Surface Engineering: Replicates the subtle, complex panel lines across the outer hull, entirely bypassing the alignment flaws and flash issues typical of older vintage sci-fi model pressings.
Compact Desktop Footprint: Measures out to a highly convenient display size while preserving fine geometric details, avoiding the massive shelf-space demands of its 1/72 scale counterpart.
Custom Flight Stand: Packed with an elegant, dedicated display base designed to prop the sleek ship at a dynamic angle, mimicking its unforgettable docking descent to the strains of "The Blue Danube."
Comprehensive Water-Slide Decals: Includes an extensive decal layout featuring precise panel color variations to easily recreate the complex, multi-toned white and gray livery seen on the silver screen.

The Perfect Cubicle or Bookshelf Masterpiece
What makes the Moebius 1/350 2001: A Space Odyssey Orion III Space Clipper such an enjoyable project is its elegant simplicity. Because the clean white styrene molds are exceptionally sharp, the kit builds into a beautiful display piece without demanding weeks of tedious filling and sanding. It serves as a fantastic weekend canvas for masking pristine shades of matte white, pearl, and light gray.
