Reviewed by John Miller

Fantastic Voyage is a 1966 American science-fiction film directed by Richard Fleischer and written by Harry Kleiner, based on a story by Otto Klement and Jerome Bixby. The film is about a submarine crew who are shrunk to microscopic size and venture into the body of an injured scientist to repair damage to his brain. Kleiner abandoned all but the concept of miniaturization and added a Cold War element. The film starred Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch, Edmond O'Brien, Donald Pleasence, and Arthur Kennedy.

Bantam Books obtained the rights for a paperback novelization based on the screenplay and approached Isaac Asimov to write it. Because the novelization was released six months before the movie, many people mistakenly believed that the film was based on Asimov's book.

The Movie Plot

The United States and the Soviet Union have both developed technology that can miniaturize matter by shrinking individual atoms, but only for one hour. Scientist Dr. Jan Benes (Jean Del Val), working behind the Iron Curtain, has figured out how to make the process work indefinitely. With the help of American intelligence agents, including agent Charles Grant (Boyd), he escapes to the West, but an attempted assassination leaves him comatose with a blood clot in his brain that no surgery can remove from the outside.

To save his life, agent Grant, pilot Captain Bill Owens (Redfield), Dr. Michaels (Pleasence), surgeon Dr. Peter Duval (Kennedy), and his assistant Cora Peterson (Welch) are placed aboard a Navy submarine (Proteus), which is then miniaturized to "about the size of a microbe", and injected into Benes. The team has 60 minutes to get to and remove the clot. After an hour, Proteus and its crew will begin to revert to their normal size, become vulnerable to Benes's immune system, and (in the words of Asimov's novelization) "kill Benes regardless of the success of the surgery."

During the critical phase of the operation, a saboteur knocks out the surgeon and takes control of Proteus, while the rest of the crew is outside. The clot is successfully removed but the Proteus is wrecked and subsequently destroyed by white blood cells. The remaining crew escape through a tear duct seconds before returning to normal size. It’s science-fiction, folks :)

Heavily edited from Wikipedia

The kit comes in a rather large box adorned with very nice art work of the Proteus as well as pictures of the assembled model. This is a big model; measuring ~15in long and ~8in wide. The first impression is one of simplicity. There are relatively few parts considering the size of the model and although the level of detail is sufficient, it is not overwhelming.

All of the interior parts and assemblies are glued onto the “floor unit” which is one of the larger internal parts that runs from the bow to the stern. Starting with the pilot’s seat, which is nicely detailed, the builder is instructed to assemble the instrument cluster, control station, air lock, and chart case. These are in turn affixed to the floor unit. The detail on all of the interior components is well done and sufficient for the large scale but a bit on the soft side in some areas.

That said super detailers are going to have a blast augmenting the interior with seat harnesses, instrument faces, placards, and similar fiddly-bits, many of which can be sourced from 1/32 scale aftermarket aircraft detail sets. Included in the interior are various doors and latches as well as the mini-lab complete with crew couch, sink, and centrifuge: very cool:) Unfortunately, a fair amount of the laboratory details won’t be visible when the sub is assembled.

After the completed interior/floor unit is glued into the lower hull, the builder is directed to install the pilot’s bubble and single-piece crew window into the upper hull.

A nice touch is the inner window frame that glues onto the inner face of the crew window thereby adding a huge amount of detail and obviating the need to paint the inner window: nice.

Once the crew window and frame are installed, the upper and lower hulls are joined. The front dive planes are neatly captured between the hull halves. Addition of the single-piece “rudder-fin” and rear dive plane completes the build.

In addition to well written and illustrated building sequences, the instructions provide schematics for decal placement and suggestions for painting and detailing interior assemblies.

This is a really neat kit. The detail is sufficient, the parts count is low, the engineering is straightforward, and the result will be a large and very impressive model. For those of us who were fascinated by the Proteus after seeing “Fantastic Voyage” this model is a huge trip down memory lane and a fun one. Highly recommended!

Review kit provided by my retirement fund, again.

Every item in our inventory has been inspected, very strictly graded, and bagged for its protection.

Shrink Wrapped. Still in the original factory shrink wrap, with condition visible through shrink noted. For example, "SW (NM)" means shrink wrapped in near-mint condition.

Perfect. Brand new.

Near Mint. Like new with only the slightest wear, many times indistinguishable from a Mint item. Close to perfect, very collectible. Board & war games in this condition will show very little to no wear and are considered to be punched unless the condition note says unpunched.

Excellent. Lightly used, but almost like new. May show very small spine creases or slight corner wear. Absolutely no tears and no marks, a collectible condition.

Very Good. Used. May have medium-sized creases, corner dings, minor tears or scuff marks, small stains, etc. Complete and very useable.

Very well used, but complete and useable. May have flaws such as tears, pen marks or highlighting, large creases, stains, marks, etc.

• Boxed items are listed as "code/code" where the first code represents the box, and the second code describes the contents. When only one condition is listed, then the box and contents are in the same condition.
• A "plus" sign indicates that an item is close to the next highest condition. Example, EX+ is an item between Excellent and Near Mint condition. A "minus" sign indicates the opposite.
• Major defects and/or missing components are noted separately.
• Boardgame counters are punched, unless noted. Due to the nature of loose counters, if a game is unplayable it may be returned for a refund of the purchase price.
• In most cases, boxed games and box sets do not come with dice.
• The cardboard backing of miniature packs is not graded. If excessively worn, they will be marked as "card worn."
• Flat trays for SPI games are not graded, and have the usual problems. If excessively worn, they will be marked as "tray worn."
• Remainder Mark - A remainder mark is usually a small black line or dot written with a felt tip pen or Sharpie on the top, bottom, side page edges and sometimes on the UPC symbol on the back of the book. Publishers use these marks when books are returned to them.
