WELCOME TO THE FUTURE: Beehoo Industries produced the 6-wheeled Amphicat in the 1970s and its futuristic look was noted by the producers of Space:1999 who adapted the vehicle into an iconic Moon Buggy in their TV program.
BUILDER’S CHOICE: This edition of the Moon Buggy kit can be built as the Alphan Moon Buggy as showcased in Space:1999 or it can be built as a stock Amphicat complete with interior engine and chassis assembly.
SIMPLE ASSEMBLY: This MPC kit offers a great building experience for modelers of any level that uses glue in their assembly. A pictorial assembly guide helps the builder as does a full-color decoration guide.
THE PERFECT PRESENT: Don’t know what to get dad for his birthday? Or maybe you have an avid hobbyist or collector in your life. This model kit makes an ideal gift for any occasion!
The Space 1999 Moonbuggy kit appears very true to the vehicle as featured in the show. You get transparencies for the headlights and a detailed set of water slide decals. The decals settle down well but are a little fragile. The two astronaut figures look a little crude unpainted but once painted and decaled they look very presentable. Some small details aren't in the kit but can be added by the builder easily, ie air hoses for the backpack and radio antenna for the buggy. I was very happy with the finished result once my kit was completed.
