1/32 Monogram Apollo instructions needed
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, July 1, 2005 11:20 AM

Greetings fellow astronauts (of Spaceship Earth):

I'm new to this site and I'm posting this because I have a vital request. Does anyone have the instructions for the 1/32 Monogram Apollo Command Module? I bought this venerable see-through kit (1994 version) at a flea market and everything is intact except the paperwork. A photocopy or a jpeg of the instructions would really help me out. Otherwise I'm tempted to do it solo and that could have disasterous results. Thanks!

Sorry made a mistake in reply..
don't follow the instructions too closely. the colouring instructions particularly are wrong.
the command module should be chrome silver. to simulate this, remove the erroneous gold layer with a wipe of nail varnish remover (solvent). do not rub. clean the chrome c.m. using alcohol or washing up liquid. spray interior of c.m. gull-grey (Quite a light grey). forget the horrendous chrome-green stickers. spray the insruments panel mid-grey. seat headrests should be white. Service module should be tamiya silver leaf. spray forward half of sps engine bell dull rough silver with hint of gold. spray heat exchanger at base of service module chrome silver first, then chrome gold on top (brings out the gold). spray rcs engine housings tamiya silver leaf. spray rcs (reaction control system) engine bells silver, then wash with very light coating of brass.
you may also experience some problems getting the commad module shell to meet the heatshield. carve away the top interior of the part where the parachutes are housed (sorry dont have instructions on me im doing this from memory) until the shell meets the base dont worry you wont see this in the end. drill holes using very sharp exacto knife at all points of rcs on the command module then paint red round them dont use the stickers..just a few tips...good luck..if you get into trouble, post me. cheers

I have that kit also.I'll have to dig it out of a box in a closet somewhere but I'll get you a copy by snail mail(I have'nt scanning equipment) if you send me an address.
Yeah the gold chrome on the kit is innacurate,its a good thing since my kit came with someones fingerprints in the chrome.So I will have to strip it anyway.
I also plan on totally scratchbuilding the interior since I cant stand the decals/stickers for all the enstrument panels.

If you want to save yourself some time just get the realspace interior for the kit. It's not cheap but a lot easier than scratchbuilding the whole thing.

Dont worry cashdaddy,I hav'nt forgotten you.Im still looking through boxes for the kit.Had a big move awhile back and didnt have the time to mark my boxes to tell what was inside.There are dozens of boxes to go through since I have hundreds of unbuilt kits.And thanks to you now I'm marking them as I search.
Now I get to help a fellow modeler and myself at the same time.
