Thats an interesting looking model and certainly something different.

Its not cheap, but have spotted it for around £60-70 and you might even pick up the original release for even less.

Just stumbled on this. I build this kit in the 80s. Its very basic unless they have seriously added some detail. some of the rooms were cutaway to see the controls room et inside but no real detail or decals as I recall. the pipes coming down from the rig were actually black straws and a real pig to fir without bending them from which they would not return. But with some research and a flare for scratch building its a seriously different and large kit J “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
