I love it Steve it looks so cool , did you build the cockpit on that or does it come with the kit ?

It's a cheater's method. The crew in the cockpit are just decals. But I had to add them, it looked a bit plain with the tinted windows only
 
Nice work Steve, and a pleasure to see you back mate. Nice work on the E-T, looks great and the cockpit detail really lifts the model.

Si:)

excellent!this is on my wishlist......always been an Anderson fan
These are hard to come by but they do turn up on evil bay , I've seen them being sold for £40/50 i built the airfix one when I was a kid and this is supposed to be the same kit but I can't say that is true

I paid about 20£ or about 40.00$ for mine. It looks like a reboxing. The box front says MPC, the sprues are stamped ERTL. The whole thing says Made in China. Not bad really, I left out some things that should be decalled, in favor of painting instead. Took maybe a week, and that's because I got lazy part way. I had to apply 2 coats of flat white paint to bring it out enough though, and added some grey bits for some variety. And some 'duck-egg blue' here and there for the same reason. Too easy to do too much with these things though.
 
The box art is the same as from the 1975 edition by FunDimensions. I could have got this kit at the comic-con for £30-but faffed and messed about and then lost out...silly boy.

Nice work Willi, do you know you can get the resin accessories for it, I got myself the science module for mine.

Great build Steve, I have this part done but the decals disintegrated on me when I tried to use them, got replacement ones and found out I had thrown out the lower box with the placement instructions on it :eek: anyway I will get a lot of them on from your pics. very nice build.

Like it a lot. I will be a shame not to have a propper base for the ship.;-)
