This is German’s Pegasus 1/350 scale The Moonlander Spacecraft, and it represents a vehicle that German-American engineer Wernher Von Braun, director of NASA in the 1950s, created to carry crew on missions to the moon. Halfway through building the kit, German designed the lighting, ordering LED lights with various effects, colors, and sizes. He says that wiring was a difficult task, especially soldering wires in narrow places; the plastic can easily melt and ruin the model. To give the model dimension, German added styrene parts from a kit of Japanese navy ship to the exterior.
