One Small Step

摘要

We finally reach that momentous event of July 1969, when Apollo 11 landed on the Moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, not forgetting Michael Collins remaining in lunar orbit in the Command Module. But it is the Lunar Module (LM) that gets centre stage this month. As far as the kits were concerned, most model companies opted for producing the whole Apollo spacecraft and kits with the LM included have already been noted in previous articles. So here we are with just the Lunar Module. As previously detailed, Revell produced the whole Apollo configuration in 1:48 scale and a smaller scale kit in 1:96, the latter kit going on to form the top of Revell's giant 1:96 scale Saturn V. But both were made during the boiler plate stages of design and although both kits showed the correct overall shape, many of the precise details were lacking.
