Inspired by promotional art for the Land of the Giants®TV series, the detailed and imaginative “Snake Scene” kit made its debut in 1968, at the height of the monster model kit craze. D&H’s rerelease of this classic kit features the same fun details as the original, including tiny figures of Captain Steve Burton, co-pilot Dan Erickson and flight attendant Betty Hamilton. Kit also includes display base and nameplate. An optional full-color printed backdrop, new to this edition of the kit, is included. Paint and cement required for assembly — sold separately.
