From StarShipModeler.com via Karl Tate:

Connecticut Valley Insignia (CVI) is known primarily for their 1/6th scale WW2 insignia. But the real fuel behind their offerings in not a specific era, but specific passions. Those passions have led them to create a 1/6th Apollo patch and instruction label set for use with Dragon's recent 12-inch "Buck" and "Buzz Aldrin" Apollo astronaut figures. This sheet provides marking for all the moon-walking (and "would-be moon-walking", in the case of Apollo 13) astronauts on the missions using the AL-7 suit design.

This printed fabric set includes mission patches, NASA meatballs, name tapes, OPS labels, PLSS labels, and RCU labels. Sufficient markings are provided to outfit two figures from any of the Apollo 11 thru 14 missions, thus you can choose to create an "all-new" figure or you can just improve the stock Apollo 11offerings. The set comes with detailed marking placement instructions, application directions, and notes on basic accurizing of Dragon's figure.

The set is expected to ship sometime in January and will retail for $12.95 USD ($20.08 CAN/ € 12.61 EUR ). All CVI products are sold through The Toy Cellar.

That's cool! They even got the red CDR labels!

Another bit of money frittered away soon I think!

Received my set of extra patches today for my "Buck" and thought I'd post a copy of the paperwork that comes with them.

It explains why the red CDR stripes weren't included as part of the set, and shows these guys have really done there homework!

Happy collecting.........Adam
