ABOUT THE DESIGN |
ABOUT THE KIT |
|
Designed by Daniel Simon for the 2013 Tom Cruise vehicle "Oblivion," the Bubble Ship melded the "whirlybird" lines of the classic Bell 47 helicopter (1946) with those of a dragon fly. The craft featured rotating VTOL engines as a cockpit that swiveled along with the upper and lower machine guns fixed to its bubble canopy. If Apple made helicopters, it would probably look like this. |
Released by Fantastic Plastic Models
in August 2014, the Oblivion Bubble Ship kit was mastered by Ed Holt and
cast by BLAP! Models. Vacuform components were made by Mana Studios. The kit
also featured white metal landing gear cast by Kings Road Miniatrues. Decals are by JBOT. For information on kit availability, CLICK HERE. |
