I have both kits - and I would say the Revell one is excellent for demonstrating an Apollo Lunar Mission - while the Monogram kit with the new extra detail...
... Has anyone ever attempted to combine the movable landing gear off the Revell kit with the Monogram kit so the Monogram LM has actual stowed or deployable ...
This is probably a case of the blow-molded nose cones and reducers being of a different quality of styrene than your typical injection kit parts. I can't say...
Interesting. Well, then I'd leave it for Nick Argento to chime in about grades of styrene and manufacturing techniques and such. I can't imagine every...

I've uploaded the Polyus Brochure published by KB Salyut as a PDF to the Files Section. This would make an impressive model if done right! Also here is the...
David, Thanks for posting the brochure. Very interesting! I'm still confused, though. Was the spacecraft launched some sort of orbiting manufacturing facility?...
Polyus as launched was a test bed for some sort of orbital weapon platform. A proposed later incarnation was an orbital manufacturing satellite. Rob ...
Glenn did a full accurization of a Revell CSM to Block 2 standards years ago for an Apollo 13 diorama that appeared in FSM, but he used the Monogram LM in...
The Polly Scale version of Paint Remover crystallized the plastic of a Hasagewa kit some years ago. Have not had the problem again since with the same brand...
Finally got a page built for the models I did for the Griffith Observatory, including the Venera 13 I mentioned in the group some time ago. I'll be refining...
I somewhat recently used Polly S Easy Lift Off (ELO) to strip the paint off the wing of a Hasegawa P-39Q kit. It did exactly what it was designed to do and...
Hello All, Well it sounds like I need to go and purchase the Monogram kit I saw. Can anyone tell me if the New Ware detail sets include parts to detail a legs...
Well, there's always good ole ebay, where one just went for (yikes!) $152. And I thought gas was getting expensive. Can't believe I managed to scoop one of...
Boy that is outrageous! Well I guess I can consider myself blessed because I bought a 1/72 Monogram Shuttle kit at a show 2 years ago unkowningly that had...
Hello: I am trying to make a visual map of what are the instruments that are attach to the MESA of the J Series. I upload the map on the folder section. I...
You luck dog you. All I got was a partially built one that I am having a tough time getting apart. Steve get the mail I sent about the new airbrush arrived...
Dear group, I have been working in the last few days on the S-band antenna for my 1/24 LM-5. Since I wanted to have a precise positioning of the antenna, I...
Ricardo - I will get as much of this information as I can find for you, but it may take a day or two. Karlito [Non-text portions of this message have been...
On Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 5:59 AM, Vincent MEENS <vincent.meens@...> ... Aren't there some other variables which would affect this though, like the local...
True, for LM-5 I am making the assumption that the LM is horizontal (which in this case is probably right), but for other flights you should take the tilt...
Gracious! Who'd a thunk it? Now, with the millions of these models out there, I'd sure like to see at least a few builds now and then! When I searched for...
Not that I wouldn't mind but have no way to get them into decal material. Never had any luck in trying my own and no printers out here will do it for fear of...
