Spotlight Review

 
"A model that embodies yesteryear's vision of space exploration."
spacewatcher56 (Cincinnati, Ohio)
I remember building this when it was first released back in the early 1970s. Apparently, this was based on actual designs by aerospace engineers, and it epitomized what I and others of my generation hoped for the future of manned space exploration. Well, at least we still have the model and the memories. I can't say enough about how cool this kit is. Lots of opportunities for lighting effects and customizing. I particularly like the little EVA pod. The iron-on patch is a nice little addition, too. Nevertheless, there are a few oddities. The three rocket nozzles on the main body of the ship are not open. This is a minor problem as they can be opened with a Dremel tool. (I did this so I could light them with mini LEDs.) Also, the service module on the modified Apollo spacecraft seems a bit short to house fuel for its engine. Finally, some astronaut figures would have added significantly to the fun this model provides. Even with these slight drawbacks, this is an excellent kit.

"Great Build"
mynameisthere
This is a great build. Almost getting away from scifi this is a conceivable concept in real life space exploration. Look for other kits on the site to compliment this kit. Make sure to get your paint supplies here to paint this beauty.
