Our Generation really got to see some truly cool spacecraft like the SpinDrift. When you think about it, we were literally raised on the concept of spaceflight; 2001, Star Trek, Space 1999, Lost in Space, Dr Who...........a great time to be a kid!!
The ship is aerodynamically ridiculous, has no landing gear, would stick out like a beacon in the Giant woods, with its bright orange paint and blinking red lights...And yet it is SO COOL LOOKING that I'm willing to overlook such lapses.
I have that exact kit, But the kit didn't come with the lights or interior, Those are seperate, My kit is unbuilt and is in its original box, If you want it? Contact me and I'll give you a price.
Very vell done model. The original filming miniature is on display at the Science fiction museum and hall of fame in Seattle Wa. It's amazing how different the actual model's contours are from studio blueprints and avaliable model kits.
The lighting is nicely done. The slow pulse is a very nice touch. The ship looks great. But that has to be absolutely the most boring episode of Land of the Giants ever.

Nice Model of the Spin Drift it does stand out. Good thing for the passengers
and crew of Sub Orbital fight 612 LA to London their craft did not crash land
in someone's backyard. However, had the ship 1st crashed into a back yard,
that would explain the boy, who picked up the ship. Then Dan and Steve blast
free not having enough power to get back in flight, crash and the 2nd time
in the forest.
