Last Starfighter Gunstar 1/144 Scale Model Kit

Last Starfighter Gunstar 1/144 Scale Model Kit:

Released during the post-"Star Wars" sci-fi boom of the early 1980s, "The Last Starfighter" was a benchmark film in its own right in that it was the first major Hollywood film to make extensive use of the then-nascent technology of Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI).  The tale of a young videogame player who is recruited by an alien alliance to pilot its last remaining spacecraft, the film had as its centerpiece the "Gunstar," a large and wholly credible two-man fighter designed by celebrated conceptual artist Ron Cobb.  Lifting off vertically and equipped with a powerful "Hail Mary" weapons array called the "Death Blossom," the Gunstar never existed as a physical model, being wholly a creation of computer graphics. Although the early 1980s technology was admittedly crude, the Gunstar remains a much-loved spacecraft among sci-fi fans worldwide.
