Even though I am not a BIG SPACE GROUPIE...

What's the latest on these kits???

The Dragon products I've seen are all are prebuilts. This would kinda put them between a toy and a model.

I dont mean to imply this is a bad thing.

Not a bad thing being pre-built..

Don't need Dragon instructions.

I am NOT a space groupie, big or otherwise. I do have a couple of Star Wars kits though.

 

 

No wonder you do well on your ancient AIRFIX  kit builds..............

the Force is with you..............

 

 

I'm from a bilingual province - I can build with British or French accents...

and your cupcakes have either British or French roundel icing ?

Are you now questioning whether or not  you really are a BIG SPACE GROUPIE?

Even though I am not a BIG Space Groupie I did notice that Dragon had their lunar series of kits at half price on their web-site...just sayin'...

 

Interesting.

Just heard from a school chum that the old 1960s era Airfix Moon Lander kit was re-issued at $45 retail.

How does Dragon fare in price vs. Airfix now?

This is the latest from Dragon:

Sorta baffled at the price, as this M0J0 is twice as much as their "Lunar Approach" combo, at $80!!!

 

Interesting.

Might prompt a new , spinoff thread titled:

"Would you think twice about spending $80 on a Dragon kit ? "

Now you've got me wanting several of the models.

I was there at Cap Kennedy for Apollo 11. We was able to get there a few days early and took the tour, we got within 1/2 mile of Apollo 11 on the pad and got to tour the assemby building. The power at lift off was unbeliveable, ever though we were almost 4 miles awaythe whole ground was shaking. Later I build the Saturn 5 model. Now I'm going to relive the time building this stuff alover again.

Actually, the entire Dragon Apollo space and figure selection looks good.

I am curious why the Saturn V rocket is in 1/400th

Airfix Heller and Academy have some 1/400th scale ship kits but I don't of many other models in the same scale for size comparison.

OTOH....it would be possible to display a Saturn V in a manner similar to the one displayed at the

U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville Alabama

I visited the museum during the 1980s and was amazed by the size of that Saturn V

Closest thing to such temperature extremes experienced by humans on earth may have been a burning Russian village in December 1941; either hot flames or cold snow & ice.

We're lucky on earth.

No such thing as moderation in space; either hot or cold.

I was watching the Apollo 13 movie last weekend and suspect that clips from movie would be a great sales tool for any store selling models of the Apollo space craft and Saturn launch vehicle.

Still not a BIG space groupie---but I guess I am a moderate space follower, of sorts...

We have a Saturn V here in Houston as well. It used to be outside but now they've built a building around it. There's lots of other Apollo stuff in there as well.

Ach ! Double post !
