The famous Apollo 11 spaceflight was the program that put man on the Moon for the first time. This momentous occasion occurred on 20 July 1969, which means next year will be the 50th anniversary. The first two American astronauts to set foot on the Moon were Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, after their Eagle lander touched down. They spent nearly a day on the lunar surface before rejoining the Columbia Command Module circling in orbit.

Dragon is celebrating the 2019 anniversary with a special re-release of both 1/48 and 1/72 scale model kits of the spacecraft involved in the Apollo 11 mission. Each plastic kit is beautifully detailed. This is just the first of a series of space race reproductions, with even more exciting items to come celebrating “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”.

Features: - New toolings to match the new scale.

Hot on the heels of Dragon’s new 1/72 scale collection of spacecraft kits, a new range of larger models scaled at 1/48 is also blasting off! The first kit shows the Lunar Module (LM), christened Eagle, which landed on the southern Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969. The first astronaut to set foot on lunar soil was Neil Armstrong, followed by Buzz Aldrin. The LM spent less than 24 hours on the Moon’s surface, while the Command Module (CM) named Columbia orbited above. The spacecraft then returned to Earth on 24 July, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.

In this larger scale, the LM model possesses even more refined detail. The kit utilizes all-new toolings to match the new scale. The LM is depicted in its landing mode with four legs outstretched. The Apollo 11 mission was “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Now modelers can commemorate this event with this stunning “larger than life” Apollo 11 Lunar Module in 1/48 scale.
