Apollo Comand Module in a 4" BT, ever done?

Hi All, Those old timer will remember the Centuri Little Joe 2 that had a really impressive look to it, certainly Estes could not do such a kit today. But I wondered has anyone done a 4" dia resiin cast of the command module and are they available? Would save me weeks of making a master and casting my own. Thanks

Terry Kosel (sp?) put out a limited production 4" Little Joe II kit a handful of years ago. It has the corrugated skin roll ons, vacuformed fin fairing and resin cast details. It is a beautiful rocket.

The command module was not resin cast, that would be pretty heavy. It was built up, light weight and gorgeous.

The kits sold quickly but I have seen a few pop up sale.

Terry Koziel (sp?) did an LJII kit several years ago that IIRC included a bunch of resin cast parts. Has any one heard from Terry lately or know how to reach him?

BTW, Dave, both you and Terry are former NIRA members, although I think Terry was only around during your long hiatus.

You're right Bob. Lots of great resin cast parts!

When I was building the LJ, I spoke with Terry about getting a second kit but he said they were all gone and there would be no second production run.

I just pulled out the box and instructions from my Terry Kosel Little Joe II. Based on the postage date, the kit was made in late 2000. There is no e-mail address or phone number but I do have a return address that I will share privately.

Roachwerks did a limited edition LJII kit a couple of years ago that was BT-101 based, but it wasn't a cast CM. The tip of it was balsa and the base was a card shroud. If being cast isn;t essential for you, then Roachwerks also do custom turning. They might be able to make you a completely turned CM if you asked them.

It's "Kosel" and yes, great kits.

I still have two of them, unbuilt.

One of these days..............
