Airfix Apollo 11 Moon Landing 1/72 Model Kit

Recreate one of humanity’s greatest achievements with the Airfix One Small Step For Man Apollo 11 model kit in 1/72 scale. This 109-part plastic kit celebrates the historic lunar landing of 20 July 1969, when Neil Armstrong became the first person to step onto the surface of the Moon.

Rated at skill level 2 and suitable for modellers aged 8 years and above, the kit offers an engaging introduction to space modelling and an opportunity to build a subject closely associated with one of the defining moments of the Cold War.

Celebrating the Apollo 11 Mission

Apollo 11 represented the culmination of the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the mission, the lunar module Eagle separated from the command module Columbia, carrying Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin towards the Moon while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit.

On 20 July 1969, Eagle successfully landed on the lunar surface. Armstrong then became the first person to set foot on the Moon, followed by Aldrin. The mission fulfilled President John F. Kennedy’s 1961 goal of landing a man on the Moon before the end of the decade and returning him safely to Earth.

109-Part 1/72 Scale Model

The Airfix A50106 kit contains 109 intricately designed plastic components representing the Apollo 11 mission. The 1/72 scale provides a detailed modelling project while keeping the subject practical for display once completed.

• 1/72 scale Apollo 11 model kit
• 109 plastic components
• Skill level 2
• Suitable for ages 8 and above
• Based on the historic 20 July 1969 Moon landing

The combination of its historic subject and approachable skill level makes this an appealing project for modellers interested in space exploration, Cold War history and milestone achievements in human technology.
