How to Build the Lost In Space Robot AMT Model Kit #8458 Review

Review and Photos for Right On Replicas, LLC by Alan Mann

For the modeler:  This review covers the AMT/ERTL model of the Robot from the Lost in Space movie. This kit is dated 1998 and is an original molding.  No scale is noted on the kit. It was Kit # 8458 in their catalog and can still be found online and in some private owned Hobby Shops.  The kit is listed as a Skill Level 2 and requires Glue and Paint.  The kit can be a small challenge as it does have fully articulating arms and torso so some extra skill and time is needed in assembly and prep to make it work properly.   You get almost 70 parts molded in DARK Blue, Light Grey and Clear.  The instructions are foldout and will aid in construction.  The decals are Waterslide and after 20 years still were in perfect condition to use as-is without any fixative.  Assembly starts with the base tracks and builds up with the arms and torso. It finishes with assembling the whole torso into one part finishing the build.  All decals can be added at the end.  Paint callouts are on each part and colors are basic with only about 4 colors used, Metallic Blue, Silver, Red and Flat Black.  Overall dimensions are roughly (depending on how you pose him): Wide: 9”, Deep: 10”, Tall: 10-1/2”.
