Just asking. There have been several resin kits of the iconic spaceship from Planet of the Apes but none in injection plastic.
Is it cost or copyright or both?

Re: Why no styrene Icarus/Liberty1?
I'm just going to guess that when you're talking about planet of the apes, well, people don't think of a spaceship. 
So probably, no company wanted to take a chance of spending a whole lot of money to create metal molds for a styrene kit that might not sell well enough to make a profit.
