One of the horror genre's "most widely read critics" (Rue Morgue # 68), "an accomplished film journalist" (Comic Buyer's Guide #1535), and the award-winning author of Horror Films of the 1980s (2007), The Rock and Roll Film Encyclopedia (2007) and Horror Films of the 1970s (2002), John Kenneth Muir, presents his blog on film, television and nostalgia, named one of the Top 100 Film Studies Blog on the Net.
John, the variety of artwork from model kit boxes is always fun to see. As a boy in the '70s, I purchased and built the Aurora Orion kit even though I did not see the '2001' film until five years later when it aired on NBC in 1979.
Dude, you're gonna make my head explode! I loved this model. Sigh...
So dig this: b/c of its flat bottom, the Orion was perfect to piggyback on both the Eagle model and the 2001 moonbus model--which I'm sure you're preparing to upload soon. THANKS!

Actually, 2001 aired on NBC in 1977. Nevertheless, I always liked the Pan-Am Shuttleplane in the film.
