The Moebius Models 2001-1 assembly kit delivers a legendary grail of classic science fiction directly to your workbench: the Lunar Transport Moon Bus from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Originally engineered as a heavily flawed mid-60s tool by Aurora, Moebius completely overhauled the tooling for this 1/55 scale release—re-matching the original studio filming models while fixing the vast alignment issues of the past.
Packaged in a nostalgia-fueled, paper-wrapped Aurora-style retail box, this kit stands out as a beautiful collectors' piece even before you break open the plastic trees.
Completely Realized Passenger Cabin: Features a fully detailed interior deck structure complete with rows of passenger seats, the forward pilot command consoles, and bulkheads.
Five In-Scale Figures: Includes individual, multi-piece scale figures representing the pilot, co-pilot, and three passengers (including Dr. Heywood Floyd) clad in their signature film-accurate spacesuits.
Removable Roof Sections: Engineered with tight-fitting panel tolerances that allow you to leave the upper hull unglued, giving you the freedom to lift the roof and display the interior detailing at any time.
Crisp Thruster & Rocket Ports: Showcases sharp mechanical detail across the maneuvering thruster blocks and rear propulsion bells, completely avoiding the soft, washed-out edges common in vintage sci-fi kits.
Waterslide Decal Sheet: Includes a premium selection of decals featuring clear instrumentation panel graphics, exterior registry scripts, and authentic markings from the Clavius Base fleet.

What makes the Moebius 2001-1 Moon Bus a spectacular project for sci-fi modelers is its stark, pristine palette. The light gray styrene serves as a fantastic base to lay down a immaculate coat of flat off-white or light gray. Advanced builders love using this kit to experiment with incredibly subtle pin-washes and light weathering in the mechanical recesses, highlighting the utilitarian look of 1960s futurism without making the ship look overly dirty.
