Scale and Contents
This Atlantis kit reproduces the Bendix Talos anti-aircraft missile at 1/40 scale using original Revell tooling. The moulded parts are cast in white and olive drab plastic and the box includes three figures for a complete diorama scene. It is aimed at modellers who enjoy Cold War-era subjects and want a display piece with a small footprint. Skill level 2 makes it approachable for hobbyists with basic assembly experience.
Assembly and Display
The launch pad measures nine inches in diameter and the assembled missile reaches 11.25 inches high when mounted, so the finished model fits on a standard shelf without special lighting or climate control. No batteries, motors or electronic components are involved, therefore the kit produces no heat, noise or power draw during normal use. Handling is limited to glue application and painting, which can be done at a regular workbench.
Upgrade Context
This kit replaces earlier pressings of the same Revell tooling that lacked the three accessory figures, giving a more complete vignette straight from the box. The jump is worth it for builders who want the figures included rather than sourced separately, while modellers seeking larger scales or motorised launch mechanisms will need a different product.

Questions about this item
How do I assemble the 1/40 scale Talos missile and launch pad without misaligning the stages?
Follow the step-by-step instructions carefully; the missile stands 11.25 inches high on the 9-inch-diameter pad, so dry-fit each sub-assembly before applying cement to avoid crooked joints.
What upkeep will the completed model require over time?
Dust the white and olive-drab plastic parts occasionally with a soft brush; the kit uses no electronics or moving mechanisms, so no lubrication or part replacement is needed.
At what point does the display become unstable if the missile is left upright on the pad?
The 11.25-inch-tall missile on a 9-inch base has a high centre of gravity; place the diorama on a level shelf away from vibration to prevent it from toppling.
