I have the 1:72 scale Revell orbiter. Excellent detail, but I've had to
refer to lots of colour pics to get better information about fine
details.

Further to this, does anyone know if decent models of the Apollo
vehicles (LM, CSM, Saturn IB/V etc) are available? I would have thought
they might have been re-issued on the 20th anniversary but the model shops
in my area had nothing.  Any information, address, prices etc would be
much appreciated.
