1/32 R2 Star Trek TOS Galileo?

#1 Post by Warped Speed »

I couldn't be more thrilled at the news Round 2 is going to release a new 1/32 shuttle Galileo! After seeing the early test shots at Cult I was wondering if there will be an interior. Has anyone heard one way the another?

Thanks for any info.

I heard it won't come with an interior. I'm sure the aftermarket will jump on that part though.

Interesting fact that I wasn't aware:
In July 1966, previews began to air for Star Trek, which were seen by executives at Aluminum Model Toys (AMT). They sought the contract to produce model kits based on the starships seen in the series. A contract was signed between AMT and Desilu on August 1 of that year, stipulating that kits based on the Enterprise could be made in exchange for AMT providing a full-scale exterior of a shuttle (Galileo) and an interior set. The prop measures 22 feet (6.7 m) long, and 8 feet (2.4 m) tall. It was built by Gene Winfeld, a speciality car designer, from blueprints created by Thomas Kellogg.
