Hot on the heels of Dragon’s new 1/72 scale collection of spacecraft
kits, a new range of larger models scaled at 1/48 is also blasting off!
The first kit shows the Lunar Module (LM), christened Eagle, which
landed on the southern Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969. The first
astronaut to set foot on lunar soil was Neil Armstrong, followed by Buzz
Aldrin. The LM spent less than 24 hours on the Moon’s surface, while
the Command Module (CM) named Columbia orbited above. The spacecraft
then returned to Earth on 24 July, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.
In this larger scale, the LM model possesses even more refined
detail. The kit utilizes all-new toolings to match the new scale. Of
special note is the heat-reflecting material under the module. The
wrinkled surface is pre-painted in the appropriate gold color. Since
it’s difficult for modelers to paint this reflective material
realistically, such a thoughtful touch will save time and will result in
an even higher-quality model. The LM is depicted in its landing mode
with four legs outstretched. The Apollo 11 mission was “one small step
for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Now modelers can commemorate this
event with this stunning “larger than life” Apollo 11 Lunar Module in
1/48 scale.
