I had that kit in the 90's. I want to say I had it in 9th grade, can't quite remember. I remember back in the 90s everything was aliens. X-files was HUGE, bands like 311 played on the alien thing. Alien workshop skateboards were big. 👽 Head stickers etc etc etc. I built my kit in the 90's and loved it. Would LOVE to have another one.
I still have the original, first release, UFO model kit. I built it back in the late '90s. I already had a lot of experience with building and painting models, so I was able to make it come out looking pretty much perfect. Mine came with a tiny solder and I think it came with a tiny grey alien. Looking on the net, there are a bunch of other UFO model kits, but they all seem to only be available online. I'd love to get all of them.
That's the original version that I have, too. I only paid about AU$50 at the time. It's crazy how much they go for now. I bet even a well made one would go for a fair bit, too.
The original one came with a several page glossy colour booklet with a bunch of details about Bob Lazar & his work at S4. I still have the original kit, that I build and the booklet. I'll probably never get rid of them.
Thats cool. I was too. Not like I am now with all of the available information. Like bob and his story. That was weird back then and now its totally legit. Its cool you saw this as a kid. GOoD stuff

I've really liked hearing stories about aliens and stuff like that.
I want the one that shows the three (3) seats in it. Which one is it? Or, where can I buy it.

Thanks for sharing!
Check Area 51 UFO by Polar Lights
I bought 2 of these in 1994 built 1 and still have the other sealed in box with a price sticker of 19.99 lucky me
Right?
I wish I still had mine.
Same lol
Hi :)
What is the difference between the two? Which one is better in your opinion?
Personally I like Area s4 one better. I think it came first and I am also a firm believer in Bob Lazar.
@@collectornick4270 Thanks!
That's what I saw in the hanger!
Right on!
I bought the Testor's S4 edition back in 1998.
Nice

Dude I just had to pass this up at a flea market and it's literally killing me now.......😢😢😢
That's too bad
I have one for sale if you want it..
Damn can you even get one of these anymore?
Not easily
Does the original come with a booklet which you didn't really show?
Yes I remember right they both came with instructions but the area S4 model came with more details about the Bob Lazar story.

I have Area 51 UFO reboxed by Polar Lights.
Right on!
Where you buy this ? Who is selling this ? Is Bob Lazar getting a cut ? :)
Testors was selling these around 2004-2008 I doubt Bob got any profit from these.
Im curious, you had this as a kid? What was the story behind that?
I was just really into UFOs and aliens as a kid and I got it for Christmas one year.
