Coming soonever from Fantastic Plastic: a 1/48 scale model of an early Grumman lunar lander concept. I’ve recently finished the CAD model for this, based on diagrams, art and display models. As modeled it has a basic interior; your average LEM model doesn’t have an interior, but at this early stage int he design the windows were HUGE, which made the interior kinda mandatory. The windows were gigantic because the crew were seated and thus recessed from the skin of the vehicle; by going to standing crew, they could put their faces right up next to the windows… allowing the windows to be far smaller.
