Airfix 1/72 Lunar Excursion Module LM-5 Apollo 11 'Eagle'


Recommended Posts

This is my entry for the on-going Grumman Group Build, Airfix's Lunar Module first released in 1970, I used the 40th Anniversary boxing of the kit. My build depicts Grumman built Lunar Module Apollo 11's LM-5 'Eagle' on July 20th, 1969, at 20:17 UTC just prior to the historic first moon landing at the Sea of Tranquility (Mare Tranquillitatis) and the establishing of Tranquility Base where Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on another planetary body a little over six hours later.

That is a very nice rendition of an old, old model.  Nice to see the Airfix one getting TLC usually reserved for the Monogram 1/48th one!
