This winch and cargo pod model is cast entirely in urethane resin in about thirty seperate parts and simulates the look of the original studio models. It is made to fit the Replicas Unlimited 23" kit and can be easily adapted to fit the 22" models. The "winch mechanism" is removeable and can be replaced with the two "waste" canisters as shown below. The hoist assembly is also cast but the three support rods are made from bent wire.

Peel and stick decals are used for the "waste canister" decorations. The 23" model version is shown in these pictures.

The engine bells shown on the bottom of this prototype model are cast and painted with "Alclad" chrome paint. Turned aluminum engine bells could also be substituted.
