The New Ware astronauts are far
more accurate and detailed than the Monogram figures. The figures
are the perfect compliment to the New Ware photo etched detail
set for the Command Module.
Duplicating the clear helmets for the Apollo astronauts has been
one of the most elusive features for space modelers. After many
attempts, New Ware has been able to capture these helmets by
vacuum forming an accurate master. The astronauts are shown with
their ”Snoppy” communication caps.
The figures were sculpted by Ignacio Bernacer Alpera, who has
sculpted several other figures for New Ware. The Apollo
astronauts feature high relief and crisp detail which bring the
figures to life and makes painting easier.
The figures come complete with the mission patches and name tags
for the crews of Apollo 8, 11 and 17.
