1/156 H1829-198 Revell Helios Lunar Landing Craft 'S' Kit
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
From 1959. NOTE: builder only, please read carefully. Rare 'near future' space model of a proposed nuclear powered lunar landing craft. The model was designed by Krafft A. Ehricke of Convair Astronautics Division, who also designed the Revell Space Shuttlecraft and some of the famous Strombecker Space kits. All phases of the flight can be recreated with the model. It features the launching pad, 6 crew figures, fully separating stages, retractable landing gear and movable control surfaces on the first stage (twisting the nose actually lowers the landing gear and power cables), removable control capsule on the second stage, gondola cables reel in and out, detailed living platform that can be viewed through an operating hatch and more - the kit has 13 total moving parts. Correctly molded in three colors: silver, ice blue and dark blue. NOTE: the kit has minor assembly. Shaft 72 is neatly and correctly glued to floor 71. Floor 73 was also neatly glued but has fallen off. Part 7 has been glued to 8 (nose cone to small rocket) and quality is 'excellent++.' There is no other assembly. NOTE: missing door #62 and the head of one astronaut. Otherwise inventoried with all other parts, decals and instructions present. The decals are only 'good.' Please read the articles on this website about saving old decals. NOTE: Kit must be shipped insured.
