LM

A planned "All in One" type kit that will incorporate Accurate Models mixed medium approach to producing the parts necessary. Typically the kit will feature resin, white metal, some laser cut acrylic and possibly styrene components.

What will make this kit a genuine collectors' item will be the ability to create any of the actually flown Lunar Modules featuring the popular "H" & "J" series. Modular components will allow for the adaptation of all the series.

The Descent stage will feature MESAs that can be shown closed or deployed.

The Ascent stage will include an interior, with planned figures and a removable aft section for interior viewing.

So, build LM1, Spider, Snoopy, Eagle, Intrepid, Aquarius, Antares, Falcon, Orion, or Challenger.

Or - build all 10 of them!

Currently patterning is an ongoing issue with this kit. We had hoped to be ready for Christmas 2008 production, but it looks more like late 2009 now as to when all parts might be ready. Updates will continue and no orders will be taken until this kit is ready for sale to the general public.

About this model:

Given the complexity of this kit, great care will be given to ensuring accurate scale to all components, within the casting limits afforded to our industry by today's standards. White metal detailing in the antennas, landing gear, and misc. delicate parts will help provide the illusion of scale while facilitating strength. The initial proposed box cover will display a generalized LM ( probably Eagle ) with all the separate mission patches placed around, including the Grumman test LM1. Our added scale size will yield many a detail that has yet to be captured. This LM can also be a companion piece to the 1/32 Monogram Apollo C/SM.
