APOLLO MODELS

The only two 'good' models (not great, but 'good') for pre-assembled models are the Danbury Mint one (I don't think they have an online source, but you can look here:)

or the IPI toys one (which was just recently released with a correctly-colored CM). It can be found at many toy stores, for example:

Note that the above site is showing the 'older' gold-colored CM. Although this is a 'toy', it is really great for allowing hands-on teaching about the CSM/LM of Apollo.

If you DO want to build your own, RealSpace models is coming out with one in January, and they have by far the most accurate models available:

Hope this helps.

Don't know if these would fit what you are looking for. They are not metal, but are premade from cast resin. Not tothe same scales:

1/24 Apollo CM (no SM, and shown in post-recovery condition)

1/48 LM Lunar Landing diorama:

And for Alan Shepard/Golf fans:

If you'll settle for an upscale, you can use BMS parts to make a nice BT-60 sport scale MX-774. BMS's BT-60 V2 boattail and Vincia nosecone are just about right. I can send you a RockSim file with the fin pattern. I had BMS laser cut the fins from .3mm plywood and then used two pieces to make a biconvex airfoil.
