Description :

Fabulous scale reproduction model of the Grumman Lunar Module by SFX Models.* 

This is a replica of the original contractor model. Made of molded resin and soldered brass, it has details like ladders, satellite dishes and antennae with the model mounted on a green/black Perspex base. NASA and Grumman insignias on base topside and felt pad on bottom. Model attaches to base with a central pin. Measures 7.5" H including VHF antenna x 10.5" W at base. In good used shape with the slight wear with age and some of the antennae a bit worse for wear. There is one dish that is detached with what looks like a previously glued repair (see last 2 photos for details). Please note that this is one of the models stored on a high shelf that would benefit from a good scrub. Also note that there is no maker mark on this model, but it is a duplicate of an SFX model of slightly newer vintage that was sold in an earlier auction.
