## Description

The Lunar Module was the Apollo spacecraft that landed on the moon and returned to lunar orbit. It consists of the Descent and Ascent stages. The Descent stage contains the landing gear, descent rocket engine and fuel to land on the moon, as well as all the equipment needed by the Astronauts whilst on the moon's surface. As the missions developed more sophisticated equipment was carried and is part of this set The Ascent stage contains, amongst other vital equipment, the crew cabin; environmental control (life support) system; overhead hatch/docking port, ascent rocket engine; and enough fuel, battery power, and breathing oxygen to return to lunar orbit and rendezvous with the Apollo Command and Service Module.

Review: For my main hobby, I paint miniature soldiers - formerly 1/72 and now concentrating more with 28mm. However, I do occasionally deviate from the usual American Civil War figures. I recall growing up as a young child in the late 60s-early 70s and being fascinated with the Apollo missions to the moon. I also recall the old Airfix model and figure kits that came out then. Seeing this kit brought out the little kid in me but also my passion for our nation's history. Putting the LEM together is a bit tough for me, as I normally don't do plastic models. Painting the astronauts is the easy part for me. I am very satisfied with my purchase!
Review: The model is fun to make, but some of the smaller pieces are quite fiddly, and I'm glad that I had fine forceps to hand. It's optional to either paint the landing stage gold, or to apply the supplied gold sheet. The latter is demanding, but the result gives the authentic wrinkled appearance, and looks better. The moon surface, the astronaut figures and the various devices to be placed on the surface combine to make a very satisfying tribute to one of the great moments in human history.

Habe mir diesen Bausatz vor einem Jahr gekauft und damit meine ersten Schritte im Modellbau gemacht. Im Nachhinein ist dies ein Schöner Bausatz, allerdings sollte man sich vor dem Zusammenbau Spachtelmasse und Grundierung zulegen. Mit diesen zusätzlichen Materialien lässt sich dann ein schönes Modell bauen.
