To heighten the control panels’ realism, backlight films are included with authentic graphics. In addition, templates are included to help modify the forward bulkheads to more closely match the full-sized set.
The model kit is based on the actual computer files used to create the show’s special effects. Replacement “walk here” treads that accurately reflect the full-sized sets’, plus templates are included for adding some hull plating that does not exist on the computer version.
BONUS: Hinges for the hatch.**
* Electronics not included.
** The hinges are not accurate to the piano hinge used on the full-sized set.
Doug Drexler was nice enough to allow us to post his images of the full-sized Raptor set. You can see them on Flickr.
