EVA Models had a very nice resin kit of the Lunar Rover many moons ago. Are there currently any similar kits available out there? |

I have a Model Assemblies 1/43 LRV (which is close enough to the 1/48 scale LM I want to display it next to) that I'm waiting to have built.It's a beautiful die-cast kit.

Thanks Norman. Does the diorama include the same version of the LRV? Do you remember the price? |

This kit is completely different to the EVA kit. The scale is 1/43 v 1/32 and this kit is die-cast metal whereas the EVA is resin. It cost $95.The EVA kit can be found on eBay from time-to-time, in fact I got one last year for about $45 (although I think it might be a copy). |

Sometimes you can find one on eBay by looking for "Minichamps moon car." Excellent detail even if they are a bit small. I think I paid $45 but that was a great deal. I will buy another if they ever come up again. |

Does anyone know where I can get a 1/32 or 1/24 Scale Lunar Rover model? EVA Models is long gone and I can't find another kit. Thanks for the help in advance. Editor's note: Threads merged. |

There is one of these on eBay right now listed as a Saxon Lunar rover. Opening bid is $99. The minichamps is a diecast preassembled. The saxon is die cast but assembly is required. |
