This is Heller's
molded kit of the Lunar Module and RealSpace Models' resin kit of the
Command
Service Module. The Lunar surface display base is
a 6"
by 9" flat Space Base. Both models include some scratch-built
parts. |
This
little LEM was built with some modifications and scratch-built
detailing
to make it resemble Apollo 11's Lunar Module, Eagle. The ascent
stage was covered with Bare Metal Foil. The descent stage was covered
with
Rolo candy gold foil wrappers. (No teeth were harmed in making this
model.) The RCS shields are .020-inch styrene sheet and brass wire.

The Command/Service
Module is a resin kit from RealSpace Models. It was built with some
scratch-built
parts including the high gain antenna, the reaction control thrusters
and
the docking adapter.

Markings
for the Apollo
11 Command Module Columbia and its Service Module are from an
aftermarket
decal sheet by Space Model Systems.
