Having broke my leg recently i decided to get an airfix model on advice from family members, i love space and so this model seemed perfect especially seeing as the 40th anniversary has just been and gone of the moon landings. I remember doing a couple of spitfires when i was young (i'm 28 now) and always being a bit disappointed towards the end when i realised that the paints were not included and so the model looked nothing like what was on the front of the box. I usually just felt disheartened or cheated at this point and so gave up. (Why should i fumble around looking for the right paints when i'm only eight years old?!) Anyway I was pleased the paints were included, as i feel they should be, with this set. However i'm not sure they got the skill level with this right it says 2 on the box (4 is hardest) but this model is really quite fiddly especially compared to a spitfire. However although it is fiddly it does come with gold tin foil which is better than the gold paint and putting that on is not as hard as one may think. Although you may want to consider wrapping the lower half (the bit thats meant to be gold) of the lunar model and its legs in the foil first before assembly as this would be easier. I didn't do this but its something you may want to consider. Overall if you have an interest in space and like modeling then you should certainly consider this great value model kit.

I was more than happy with this model kit. It is a very reasonable representation of the lunar module that was launched in 1969 (and has additional pieces that mean it can be updated to represent later missions. It perhaps requires a little more skill than the instructions would suggest to put together but is o0kay for most modellers except the novive. Comes with paints, glue, brushes, and clear instructions including painting details.

This is a fab model to add to any collection. However, its almost impossible to paint if you don't use primer first.
I needed a good few coats of plain white primer before I started assembling and painting. The quality of the plastic also isn't the best which is a shame as the model is of man's greatest achievement to date. A lot of pre-assembly sanding was required.
Even after the much needed extra work I'm still glad to see the finished product along side all my other models, its a faithful representation and looks great when complete. Just be patient!!

Looks exciting. Bought it for my 9 year old nephew, along with a book about the 'moon missions'. Hope it will spark an interest.

this is not a toy
Great fun, but this is not a toy, it is quite fiddly and delicate when finished, some of the pieces are difficult to glue, but it makes an impressive display and is a bit different... Read more
