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.
In this larger scale, the LM model possesses even more refined detail. The kit uses all-new toolings to match the new scale. Of special note is the heat-reflecting material under the module. The wrinkled surface is pre-painted in the appropriate gold color.
The LM is depicted in its landing mode with four legs outstretched.
