1/32 scale lunar module?
Posted by mitsdude on Saturday, May 26, 2007 2:00 AM

I bought a 1/32 scale Command/service module. (Monogram???)

Anyone know of a 1/32 scale lunar module I could pair up with this?

I'm aware of the kits of both of these in a smaller scales but I like the larger 1/32 size.

The only one that I know of would be Vista Replicas 1/32 Lunar Module. It is supposed to be a very accurate Resin+ kit from what I have read about it. If it is still made (came out around 1999) you could only get it direct from Vista, things may have change since then.


Update- Out of Business.

Not only is Vista Replicas no longer active, they managed to take quite a few space modeler's payments without delivering the promised 1/32 LM kits. Disapprove [V]  A few kits were delivered to a few of the lucky early purchasers, but many modelers got burnt. Fortuneately, I was about to order their 1/32 Surveyor kit when everything hit the fan, so I missed out on the fun.

However, all is not lost! Accurate Models is planning on releasing a 1/32 LM kit in the future. Here's their web site with the relevant info:  http://www.customreplicas.com/accurate.htm. I have a copy of their Saturn V F-1 engine and it is really stunning! Most likely, their 1/32 LM will be the kit to beat.

Have fun modeling!

Thanks for the update Mike. I did not know about the Vista's problem. I just happened to see a review of there kit in an old Sci-Fi & Fantasy models mag. , it had a good review too.

Accurate models looks promising, I hope they will be able to make the LM's happen. I knew about the Gemini 1/12 but not about the others. Thanks for the heads up.
