1/48 Monogram-New Ware Apollo Lunar Module

[bapowell]

This is the Monogram First Lunar Lander kit supplemented with the New Ware Apollo Lunar Module Detail Set.  The detail set is indispensable for turning this old tooling into something display-worthy.  I purchased my own gold foil closer to the actual color, but reserved the paler, adhesive-backed foil that came with the Monogram kit for certain parts of the kit like the landing gear "feet".  The ascent stage is painted with Tamiya Medium Gray XF-20, metallics are done with Alclad, and I used Tamiya dark gray and AK white enamel panel liners.   Thanks for looking!

Very nice build. 

Not tempted to use the base with the moulded in shadows? 😉

Exactly. I seriously can’t figure out why they did that.

Sharp work! 👍

I like the movie Apollo 11 movie from 2019 with original footage.

 

This model does a very good job looking like the real one. 👍

this is a pretty good free 3d print file

 

I used in in 1/48 and a bigger scale (actually a misprint - my son prints for me). Only 1/72 didn't really work: he was missing the top of the helmet in each try
