Moebius Models 2001-6:
1/2600 Space Station V Orbital Platform
The Moebius Models 2001-6 assembly kit delivers one of the most visually stunning, highly anticipated landmarks in science fiction cinema directly to your workbench: the Space Station V from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Engineered as a completely new, modern tool, this kit marks the first time this orbital platform has been available in a highly detailed, mass-production plastic kit.
This 1/2600 scale kit accurately replicates the station exactly as it appeared on the silver screen—complete with its famous, partially constructed double-wheel architecture.
Kit Features & Screen-Accurate Details
Authentic Dual-Ring Architecture: Captures the unique layout of the station, featuring one fully completed, pressurized habitation ring paired with the complex, open-truss framework of the second ring still under construction.
Intricate Truss Breakdown: The seemingly overwhelming exposed structural frameworks are skillfully divided into precision-molded segments, offering a smooth assembly experience without sacrificing scale fidelity.
In-Scale Orion Space Clipper: Includes a miniature, companion Orion III Space Clipper matching the 1/2600 scale, allowing you to recreate the iconic, elegant docking sequence set to "The Blue Danube."
Massive Display Footprint: Despite the tiny numerical scale, the finished orbital wheel measures an impressive 14.6 inches (37 cm) in diameter and stands a full 16 inches tall when mounted on its base.
Custom Logo Display Stand: Packed with a dedicated, heavy-duty display pedestal featuring the official movie logo to securely hold the massive station wheel at a dynamic viewing angle.

The Ultimate Orchestrated Sci-Fi Masterpiece
What makes the Moebius 2001-6 Space Station V a legendary project for modelers is the sheer mechanical complexity of its silhouette. The crisp white styrene parts provide an immaculate canvas for subtle finishing techniques. Advanced builders love using fine dark gray pin-washes to accentuate the hundreds of tiny structural cross-beams, or installing custom fiber-optic micro-lighting to illuminate the tiny docking bay doors and habitat windows.
