HISTORY: In the Fantastic Voyage, a 1966 film directed by Richard Fleischer, the Combined Miniature Defense Force was a secret United States government organization which possessed the ability to reduce people to microscopic size. The main characters were Commander Jonathan Kidd, biologist Erica Lane, scientist Busby Birdwell, and Guru; master of mysterious powers. The team was reduced in size for 12 hours and traveled around in a microscopic flying submarine, the Voyager, doing battle against the unseen, unsuspecting enemies of the free world. The American TV Series ran 17 episodes from September 14, 1968 through September 5, 1970. While the series was in production, Aurora Model Company developed a plastic model of the Voyager, releasing it only months before the series cancellation was announced. Due to the short run of the show, this kit received only one press run, and as a result is one of the rarest kits to find of the Aurora line. | $ 15.00
