T O P I C R E V I E WSpace MavenThere appears to be a new model rocket kit company in town, P&L Rockets, that appears to produce very low cost model kits of modern space rockets, historical rockets, Apollo lander, rovers, etc. I have no idea if they just are selling the instructions to print out the model parts on a 3D printer or are actually selling the parts too. The very low prices suggest that they are selling only the plans to print your own parts. But I may be wrong. I will contact the company and find out. For example, their SpaceX Falcon Heavy Rocket is only $29.95, as are their Saturn V on crawler/tower, Apollo LM, Space Shuttle, and Proton M rockets. In the meantime, if anyone here knows more, please let us know.PeterScam Alert — They appear to be selling prints or pdfs of paper models taken off popular paper model sites. (And I suspect without permission of the designers or sites.) These same models can be downloaded free. Falcon Heavy, Saturn V, Mars Rover and Shuttle are from paper-replika.com. Also the coins on that site are flat knock-offs of the curved US space coins. STAY AWAY!JonnyedAnd they appear to not know how to spell "apparel," unless they are trying to get "cute" with spelling.Perhaps this is a copycat site located outside the U.S.? I can't imagine selling "coins" in the form of fake US Mint products would be too amusing to law enforcement.Space MavenThank you. I thought it was too good to be true.Retro RocketOn Facebook they keep changing names, I keep reporting them but Facebook does nothing.
