This is the Lindberg 1978 "glow in the dark" reissue of their classic original 1954 "Flying Saucer" kit (which was the first science fiction / space-related plastic model kit ever made). Lindberg changed the name of the kit to "Unidentified Flying Object UFO" and for some reason they produced *two* variations on the box art layout, both printed in the same year with the same kit number (#1152)!

NOTE that instead of being made of the usual silver-gray plastic of the original kit, the plastic in this kit was a light blue (the only way they could get it to glow in the dark, I guess). In every other way, including the decals, it is exactly like the 1954 kit.
