Moebius Models 2001-11:
1/72 Orion III Space Clipper (Studio Scale Edition)
While code 2001-12 offers a compact desktop version, the Moebius Models 2001-11 assembly kit delivers the absolute holy grail for Kubrick collectors: the massive 1/72 Scale Orion III Space Clipper from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Engineered as a completely fresh, modern tool, this flagship release captures the Pan Am commercial space liner in a staggering, 29-inch long format that replicates true studio-scale presence.
This kit completely re-imagines the iconic space plane with laser-precise digital mapping, entirely replacing the inaccurate shapes and poor fits of legacy 1960s molds.
Kit Features & Studio Scale Detailing
Towering 29-Inch Profile: Once fully assembled, the hull measures over 70 centimeters (29 inches) in length, instantly turning it into the dramatic centerpiece of any science fiction display.
Fully Realized Cockpit & Cabin Interior: Unlike smaller iterations, this large-scale marvel features a complete interior deck layout. It reproduces the multi-seat cockpit, the main passenger cabin with double-sided luxury seating, and the central aisle where the cabin attendant walks.
Crisp, Authentic Panel Engineering: Features high-fidelity surface molding that accurately captures every subtle hull seam, panel variation, and recessed line across the beautiful cranked delta wing structure.
Removable or Transparent Viewing Options: The kit is designed with exceptional part tolerances, allowing advanced modelers to leave upper hull segments removable to show off the complex interior layout and cabin bulkheads.
Heavy-Duty Structural Display Base: Comes packed with an elegant, reinforced display pedestal designed to securely support the massive weight of the completed 29-inch vessel at a dynamic flight angle.

The Ultimate Large-Format Modeling Canvas
What makes the Moebius 2001-11 Space Clipper an absolute masterpiece for advanced builders is its incredible potential for custom craftsmanship. The massive, unblemished white styrene hull provides a breathtaking canvas for pristine airbrush gradients. Because of the generous 1/72 scale, this kit is highly favored for custom aftermarket fiber-optic lighting installations to fully illuminate the cabin windows and cockpit dashboard arrays.
