“I always wanted a lunar module to go
with my Revell 1/32 scale command/service module,” Ron says, “I could not find
one, so I decided to build my own.” He scaled up Revell’s 1/48 scale LM and
built the first moon lander, LM-5 Eagle,
using sheet and tube styrene. He swiped thrusters from another 1/32 scale SM
and used the main engine nozzle from a 1/48 scale SM for an ascent engine. (“It
was the perfect size,” he says.) Ron enlarged 1/48 scale decals, applied the
copies to .010" styrene sheet, and glued it to the foil. “Researching and
building this piece of space exploration history was a great time,” he says.
