Luna Rocketship

This is my favorite Pegasus kit to date (okay, I've only done two so far--but this kit really is very well-made and great fun to build). The film Destination Moon is classic early (1950s) Sci-Fi and I've found, after a recent viewing, it still wears well: Absorbing story, accurate science (for its time) and one of the most beautiful rocketships ever seen on the screen. This kit is a worthy representation of that ship. Simple to assemble, large-sized--the ship alone is over a foot tall. It's made of ABS plastic (except, perhaps, for the clear parts), not polystyrene. The parts fit is first-rate. To top it off, it comes with a wonderfully detailed lunar surface display base. The kit takes paint beautifully (I used Vallejo acrylics over Vallejo Gloss Black primer for the ship and a custom mix of Vallejo acrylics over Vallejo Gray primer for the base). Overall, I have nothing but praise for this kit. One of the most enjoyable builds I've ever done! Pegasus, great job!
