The 50th Anniversary Apollo 11 Model With Genuine Artifact

Available only from Hammacher Schlemmer, this is the extremely limited historic set that commemorates the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 with a 1:48 scale desktop model, 2019 U.S. half dollar, and a rare, genuine piece of Kapton foil. Rising from a wooden 10" L x 5 3/4" W base, the hand-crafted and painted resin model of the Apollo Command Module and Lunar Module can be displayed docked—as they would have appeared in Lunar orbit—or separated into two different models to experience the lunar landing as it occurred. A genuine fragment (appox. 3/8” sq.) of golden Kapton foil used as thermal protection on the Lunar Module’s descent stage arrives sealed in an acrylic case and literally allows you to hold history in your hands. The model base’s plaque is hand-signed by former Grumman Lead Technician Lee R. Brandt, who removed a piece of foil from the spacecraft during a valve repair prior to the July 16, 1969 milestone launch. The curved commemorative U.S. Mint coin bears the Lunar footprint of Neil Armstrong on the obverse and the iconic image of Buzz Aldrin on the Moon on the reverse. Only 50 sets available, no additional sets will be produced. Model: 13" L x 7" W x 13" H. (7 1/2 lbs.)
