Anyone Getting the Dragon 1:72 Apollo 7 Command Module?

Tempted, but not sure....

I wonder if they'll come out with a Lunar Module?

Don't have any "space themed" models, so probably wouldn't really fit in with my collection. But this would be a good place to start though.

Dragon also does a 1/400 Saturn V rocket, and a 1/400 Space shuttle model. Both reasonably priced.

But the best space models I have seen are from Bandai. But these are pretty expensive. They do a 1/144 Saturn V, and also a 1/144 Space shuttle, with solid rocket boosters.

Space Shuttle.

Saturn V, with Command module, and Lunar module.

Don't know about the Dragon, but 4D is slated to release an Apollo 11 Lunar Module & Command Module in 1/72 scale. If these are anything like the F-14 series they should be outstanding models in quality and detail. Aikens has both up for pre-order now.

Aikens also has the Apollo 7 Command Module in stock @ $42.95 with free shipping. It looks like a nice display piece but probably wouldn't have the interior detail like the 4D Vision models would.

we sell these in our store and they have done very well. i have several on display and the command module is one of the best sellers. The response has been great they have out sold all other dragon items for the last couple months. we have had to reorder all the versions atleast 5 times now. im not big into the space items myself but many collectors have said they are very well done. the command module does look really nice on display. we also had the 4D kits in and didnt know what the reponse would be so we only took 2 cases. we sold out in just a week. :shock:

Will you by any chance be getting any of the 4D Vision 1/48 F-16's and/or F-18's...?? These promise to be outstanding models, and are surprisingly big, with the F-18 rumored to measure around 16 inches long. I can't wait to get my hands on these, and I'm basically gonna order from whoever has em' in stock first... excluding China.... :lol:

So many great space vehicles coming out! I especially like the look of the Dragon 1:72 items (definitely want the Gemini spacecraft). Can't wait.
