Captured Alien Attacker (Independence Day), 1/72, Lindberg

From Apollo and Soyuz, to Gerry Anderson, Irwin Allen, Star Wars and Trek to Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and those strange, doe-eyed Japanese school girls...to any model kits you can think of, that only exists in imagination.

It rather depends on your taste in SF, celt. For an aircraft and armour modeller, the most obvious choice would be something like a futuristic plane or AFV -- say, an Angel Interceptor or SPV. Then there are the various space fighters from movies and TV that are readily available -- Battlestar Galactica Vipers and Cylon Raiders, Star Wars <insert letter>-wings and TIE <insert role> :mrgreen:, plus various things from anime, some of which cross the line between aircraft and armour :shock:... Lots of other possibilities.

If you'd like to try a spacecraft for a change, I would have suggested a Hawk from Space: 1999 as a simple, good introductory kit, but that model is OOP, hard to find and expensive when you do. So how about one of the various Star Trek kits -- say, a 1/1000th TOS Enterprise: straightforward to make and no aztecing! Or a Klingon or Romulan if you prefer.

The point is, there's lots out there that is readily available, not too expensive, and that makes into nice models which can have as much or as little in the way of fussy work -- detailing, weathering, etc. -- as you prefer. Name your poison, so to speak...

Thanks for the info Tarkas,I think I try the Star Trek route but I like the bad guys so its Romulan or Klingon.The bad guys gear always looks better. 8-)
