![]() ![]() ![]() I spent a lot more time sanding and scraping than I expected I’d beĭoing- all the leg parts and braces especially needed attention. The parts had mold lines that needed to be cleaned up. So, in the end, IĮnded up having to repaint all the gold parts anyways. I searched high and low, lookingįor a color match in hobby and hardware stores, to no avail. Some paint while cleaning up the molding seams. The problem is that in the course of assembly, you’re going to sand off However, I think that the pre-painted parts aren’t worth the trouble. The painted parts look good, with a nice even finish. Which some of the parts on the Descent Stage are pre-painted in a gold color. Of puzzles to solve as you build the model. ![]() This with the presence of un-identified extra parts means you may have a couple Also, I found a couple of the parts were labeled with the wrong number on Of left/right, but completely forget that the model has four corners, not two. Stages don’t have to be joined until the model is complete-so you can work onĬertain locations, and the instructions only give the part numbers for two of Assembly is fairly simple, and the upper and lower (Dragon has already released LMs in both configurations in 1/72.)ģ step assembly sequence. “Lunar Approach” version, with the landing legs folded. LM in the future- for example a couple of the parts look like they are for a But the kit clearly includes extra parts-several are left over after the Sprue diagram has a key that indicates that some parts are “not for use”, but Picture of the subject, the paint chart, and an illustration of the sprues. On the assembly of the model, but have some oddities. Printed on a single sheet of paper, they provide basic instructions Itself-things that weren’t apparent until I started to build it. I do have some additional comments on the kit Preview of the kit, published here on MM on Novem, So, this kit could be used to build the LMs from Apollo 11 through 14. Used for Apollo missions 15, 16, and 17 were the “J class” LMs, and are Though it was still called “Lem”, because it was easier to say than “L-M”.Īpollo 11 was the first landing on the moon, Fairly early in the program, the name was changed to Lunar Module, or LM, (the Command Module) and the “Eagle”, the Lunar Module that is the subject ofĬalled the Lunar Excursion Module, or LEM. All of the Apollo spacecraft were given names by their crews-so theĪpollo 11 mission consisted of the “ Columbia ” Module of the Apollo program, and the first one to land on the moon. Summary on Wikipedia.) Instead, I’ll just provide a couple of factoids… History of Apollo program is well documented, so there’s no need to repeat it ![]()
