Very nice kit, good size very accurate and reasonably priced. Best War of the Worlds (1953) war machine kit out there. Also set up for lighting and comes with a nice base.
Highly recommended

This is the one to buy....its got a great lighting kit made by Voodoofx for about $60.00 .....warning !!!! you will need some slight modifacation to install lighting kit..Do not paint before you get the instructions from the lighting kit as there are areas to be masked and painted before you can put it together..
The lighting kit really makes this baby just like the ones in the movie...It has a programmed circut board that makes the eyepiece pulse and then fire and the green lights dim and fade then the whole thing starts over in its program...its very real
to the film version..Kudos to Randy at Voodoo fx for the amazing work that went into making the lighting kit .
The only area that really is a little bit of work is the cobra neck to the eye..
It takes some sanding and removal of plastic pins and braces in the neck..take your time and you will be able to make this baby a real showpiece..this thing only needs glue is the cobra neck assembly and the eyepiece...all the rest is capped by the green lighting pieces to hold it together.So if you need to get back inside of the body where the board and lights are mounted it is super easy to get to..wonderful piece of work on this thing.. Pegasus rules for putting this out ...they also make a 1/8 size martian figure if you want the whole works....It also has a lighting kit by Voodoofx for the Martians eye and the smashed probe unit..but its a little more work to light as the martian is mostly solid vinyl and needs some drilling out to wire, but the torso is hollow where the board and battery go..its just the head and probe that are a little more work..enjoy...everyone should have a hobby!!!!

Cool wish it would have been more of a kit so it would have been work to put together.
