been steel-puttied into place for secure construction. Also the distinctive
circle-pattern on landing-wells has been painted to match the Jupiter-2 on
the show. Exterior painted silver to match the Original 60's TV-Show B+W

opposed to the flat wall in kit. A model like this is hard to come by at
this price takes hours to evolve. Lights run on 8-pak AA-Battery Unit where
power-wire runs down back of one Jupiter-2 leg thur back-bottom of display
stand to the battery-unit which sits under display stand not noticable.
