Review: Brings Back Many Memories! - For my main hobby, I paint miniature soldiers - formerly 1/72 and now concentrating more with 28mm. However, I do occasionally deviate from the usual American Civil War figures. I recall growing up as a young child in the late 60s-early 70s and being fascinated with the Apollo missions to the moon. I also recall the old Airfix model and figure kits that came out then. Seeing this kit brought out the little kid in me but also my passion for our nation's history. Putting the LEM together is a bit tough for me, as I normally don't do plastic models. Painting the astronauts is the easy part for me. I am very satisfied with my purchase! Review: Not too tough - My 13 year old did most of this on his own, but I had to help with the painting in the end because it got tough for him. ## Features - "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
