Description :

Fabulous scale reproduction of the 1962 Grumman Proposed Lunar Excursion Module by SFX Models.* 

This is a replica of the original contractor model. Made of molded resin and soldered brass, it has details like pressurization tanks, integral descent engine bell, and egress platform. Unlike many of SFX's lunar models, this is all one piece above the removeable green Perspex base. NASA and Grumman insignias on base topside and felt pad on bottom. Model attaches to base with 5 small pins. Measures 7.5" H including VHF antenna x 9" W at base. In terrific shape with the exception of a small hairline crack on one surface as noted in the last photo. Please note that the white circles on the base are a result of the highly reflective Perspex base with photo lighting, not flaws in the material.

Shipping available only through Fed Ex Pack & Ship

At the end of 2018 I moved to Italy and set up a workshop and design office. I hope to continue making props and effects for feature films, but I also want to make space related things, particularly from the 1960's 'Space Race' era."
