Airfix 50106 One Small Step for Man 40th Anniversary of Apollo 11 Moon Landing 1/72 is an exceptional plastic scale model, released to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing. The model, in accurate 1/72 scale, allows you to recreate a breakthrough moment in human history – the first landing of a human on the surface of the Moon in 1969.

The model depicts the Lunar Module (LM), the renowned “Eagle,” which safely touched down on the Moon on July 20, 1969, allowing Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to go down in history as the first men to set foot on the lunar surface. The set also includes realistically crafted astronaut figures and lunar landscape elements, enabling you to recreate the entire landing scene as well as the historic “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The model measures L348 x W247 mm when assembled, allowing a detailed presentation of all Apollo 11 mission features.
