This is a blast from the past and down Airfix memory lane I go. The lunar lander (The Eagle) which was part of the Saturn 1B (IIRC) was hidden in an unassembled, primed and "brown washed" state for such a long time. All it took was for possible inclusion in my Conference of Wargamers (CoW) game 2026, "The Earth Prepared" to jolt it towards the painting tray (see below, not sure about the hole in the roof, but I think that is where it attached to the orbiter Columbia I quite like how it has come out):
The big boys rockets - the diminutive Soyuz in comparison to one of the smaller American rockets, the Saturn 1B (see below, a stretch game goal is to get the Saturn V, currently hiding in the loft, assembled and painted too):
Note the little Yuri on the launch pad, a tiny dot towards the front of teh CCCP launch pad.
