Pah! not a patch on the Airfix kit one I got for my 10th birthday. It had nearly as many bits as the real thing. A real pain to get the lunar lander feet aligned (butt joints) - happy solvent fueled days!  :D

I think I was a bit younger, maybe 6 or so, when I had the Airfix one, but I also remember my old man doing all the work for some reason, I know I would ;-)

That's the suggested model that got enough public votes, right? Beautiful. I'm hoping and waiting for the Apollo Moon Explorers one...
