Thanks Bruce. There a LOT more. Some are on our Apple cloud account, and the rest are on my wife’s iPad. But I have to airdrop them to my devices and get them uploaded onto a host site so that I can post them.

Incredible! So sharp! Crisp! Clear! These make me want to buy the Tamiya 1/70 kit from the Sixties! Badass design work from our stars at NASA!

Holy malony!
Outstanding pictures Carlos!
As Bruce already said, so crispy, so sharp and vivid!
This will be one of my most visited pages the coming months...
@Bruce: Have you ordered it already ?

Kari,
Not yet, not yet, perhaps not, as the kit seems to suffer from the "Block 1" issues that the Revell does. Personally, I like your first attempt to shave off the rings on the thruster very much. I might have suggested to you, "Stop there," as I recognize what is a similar tendency to chase details down and get them right, but your masking tape ideas are quite wonderful, so I am glad I was not there at that moment!
Clearing throat... although have you seen the 1/48 Dragon Command Module? This and the 1/48 Monogram or is it Revell Lunar Module would make quite a pair, but as you suggest, I may be just whistling tonight!

I have the old Monogram 1/48 Lunar Landing and older 1/48 Revell Apollo Spacecraft kits in my stash. Along with the Monogram 1/32 Apollo CSM kit. I still need to get my hands on one of the Revell 1/48 Mercury & Gemini capsules kit. And one of the Dragon kits would round out the collection nicely.
