Gary Kerr posted the following information at Hobbytalk and has given me permission to post on the CultTVman site.

Since Frank Winspur has officially announced the Jupiter 2 model at WonderFest, I can tell you some details about the kit and show a few photos. A few factoids:

The studio set fit almost perfectly inside a 52 ft saucer, so that's what I used when I designed the model. The 1/35 scale saucer is a hair under 18" in diameter, which is the largest size that Moebius' budget could handle. (The price of tooling goes WAY up if you go any larger, and the kit would become too expensive for the mass market.)

• I sent over 170 sheets of plans and more than 300 reference photos to Moebius.
• Decals will be included.
• I have a casting of the 4 ft hero model's hull, so I lofted its profile for the Moebius kit.
• The entire upper half of the hull lifts off to reveal the interior. There's a lot of space between the interior walls and the edge of the saucer, so scratch-builders can have a field day adding the greebles & rooms we never saw.
• The kit has TWO fusion cores - one with the fins extended, and one with the fins retracted.
• The model has optional position landing gear, with landing gear wells, as well as outlines for the Chariot hatch and the Space Pod hatch.
• The interior reflects the 3rd season version of the upper deck set, which didn't have lighted roof beams. Deleting the roof beams saves tooling costs and provides better access to the interior, but adding scratch-built roof beams should be very straightforward.
• There's no lower deck, since it absolutely, positively won't fit inside the hull. Trust me
• The interior of the main airlock is represented, but Dave Metzner had to nix a sliding door for budgetary reasons, since the parts count was already way north of 200. Again, this shouldn't be hard to scratch-build, if you want.
• There are a number of clear parts to facilitate lighting.
• The porthole next to the airlock will be cut out, with a clear plastic window, while the rear porthole will be molded closed (because the door to the aft compartment is molded closed).
• A faint engraved line will demarcate the brown & yellowish areas of the floor.
• The model's upper hull has an opening for the cockpit windows. The upper, lower, and side window sills, along with the frames between the windows, are a separate piece that is glued into the hull opening from inside. A one-piece clear plastic window unit is attached to the inside of the window sill.
• No opperating doors, no figures, no airlock interior.

Dave and Frank allowed me to go absolutely crazy with interior detail, and the model is a near-perfect representation of the studio set. The elevator cage is a delicate work of art! I had help from several LIS experts, and I'll name names in a future article.

I took some of the pictures when Dave & I reviewed the first prototype this past March. At this point, it hadn't been determined which parts will be solid colored or clear.  These are early shots of the prototype model, which has undergone numerous changes since the photos were taken....

One of the flight chairs. They can rotate, like the ones on the show, so the actors can talk to one another.
