A photo-matched 48-inch alien Attacker spaceship model miniature from Roland Emmerich's sci-fi action film Independence Day. Attackers, the primary fighter craft of the alien Harvesters, were deployed from the larger City Destroyer and Mothership spaceships. Captain Steven Hiller (Will Smith) took one attacker down and captured the pilot during the first battle.

This lot consists of one Attacker model miniature, a bag of parts, and a magazine for "The Making of Independence Day." Constructed of fiberglass, resin, foam, vacuum-formed plastic components and other multimedia, the miniature features an intricate, multifaceted biomechanical technology-inspired design all over its chassis and was painted in shades of metallic gray, green, and blue. The underside of the spaceship's top was handmarked with the word "Clearance" in blue-black ink. Also included are two wire stands.

During production, two scales of model were crafted, larger and smaller, with this being a larger scale model. Larger scale models such as this piece were used for the crash sequence as well as in the Area 51 model miniature hangar. Additionally, this miniature photo-matches to an image featured in the behind-the-scenes book "The Making of Independence Day."

This model has undergone sympathetic repair and accents were produced to complete the display. This lot exhibits surface pitting from the curing process, chipped paint on some surfaces, minor blemishes, loose components, and notable adhesive marks. Dimensions: 46" x 50" x 22" (117 cm x 127 cm x 56 cm)

Estimate: $12,000 - 24,000
