The 1968 Tamiya Apollo 1 Concept Kit

Featured on the Tamiya Blog this Apollo 1 is one of those designs I find breathtakingly gorgeous.

Its clean lines, angled window and belt of wheels is stunning and the kit captures the concept perfectly.

See more pictures on the Tamiya Blog.

  1. Oh yes! This is one of the legendary "first wave" of fantastic Japanese SF designs, largely influenced (IMHO) by the Supermarionation universe. SFZ

  2. That's my baby!
    I didn't realise until very recently that the missile hauling Jupiter 2 version came in a scarlet livery! I much prefer the white Apollo 1 scheme.
