After a long and torturous journey, I am in possession of no. 2 on my bucket list of space collectibles, a Grumman Lunar Module model (no. 1 is an uninscribed WSS autographed photo of Neil Armstrong for less than $300. Yeah, good luck on that one!). Anyway, the model is pre-Apollo 11 and typically yellowed (not too bad) and it is 100% complete with all thrusters, wire antennae etc.

The only detriment that I would like to remedy is the missing U.S. flag and United States decals on one of the descent stage vertical panels. Replacing these would make the model perfect for me.

Anyone have any suggestions on where I can find something in the 1/40 scale, or close, that I can use?

Contact Gordon Agnello at Excelsior Rocketry. He does great custom work.

Email Mark at Precise Models.

He had original "new old stock" LM decals for sale a while back. Lifting the old decals and floating on replacements is a piece of cake and will really set your model off.
