Metal Earth Apollo 11 Lunar Module

Metal Earth produces a large number of licensed and classic metal model kits. Each kit comes with a few flat sheets of metal pieces that can be pressed out and assembled by following the simple instructions, resulting in a wonderful little steel model. Note that the individual pieces can be very small, making them somewhat tricky to assemble and would require a steady hand and the use of tools such as flat nose pliers. While these could be suitable for older children with some help, they are more geared towards adult model builders.

The Apolo 11 Lunar Module known as the ‘Eagle’ was the first spacecraft to land humans on the moon in 1969, which was famously broadcast around the world who watched on as Neil Armstrong said it was “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. A pivotal and poignant moment in human history that will be remembered long after most of us are forgotten.

This advanced-level metal kit of the Apollo 11 Lunar module comes with 61 pieces, although they are very small and will require a steady hand to assemble. As with other Metal Earth models, this doesn’t require glue but you will need flat nose pliers and tweezers to assemble the small parts and bend the tabs.
