Alpha Centauri is a triple star system, with its two main stars, Alpha Centauri A and Alpha Centauri B, being a binary component. The AB designation, or older A×B, denotes the mass center of the main binary system relative to companion star(s) in a multiple star system. AB-C refers to the component of Proxima Centauri in relation to the central binary, being the distance between the center of mass and the outlying companion.
Because the distance between Proxima (C) and either of Alpha Centauri A or B is similar, the AB binary system is sometimes treated as a single gravitational object.

Pegasus Alpha Centauri UFO’s Model Kit
Alpha Centauri UFO’s Kit Dispatched from their mother ships, these “Short Range” UFO’s piloted by strange alien beings explore vast star systems looking for new planets and resources to consume. Reporting back on all they find, they are the ideal craft to scout low-tech planets such as our own.
Virtually invisible to radar, sonar, and microwave scanning, they are undetectable by our primitive technology. With the inability to travel the full 1.34 parsecs from Alpha Centauri to our solar system, they require long-range transport from their larger ships to destinations deemed “viable” for resources. Dispatched in small squadrons, they can quickly reach any destination in our solar system, and maybe sample a few cattle along the way!

This is the 1/32 scale Alpha Centauri UFO from Pegasus Models. The Alpha Centauri UFO 9102 model it belongs to the Pegasys Rockets & UFO Collection. There are a few aftermarket pre-fab lighting sets for it also.
The kit is very basic yet it has some nice details in the tiny cockpit.
In the box, you will find sprues to build 2 UFOs with parts to build it either with the landing gear up or down. This one was built with a diorama in mind. The parts are all clear and require transparent colors. For this one, I mixed 50/50 Tamiya Clear Green and Tamiya Clear Blue, The rest was painted with several colors provided for this build by Mission Models US. Anyone can build this model including those who have never built models before. Lighting it up does require some soldering and basic LED lights know-how.
