A bit earlier we talked about PMC conversion of any of the 1:144th Apollo Saturn-V kits mine was the older Revell Apollo Saturn-V but most any of these kits "generally" include some sort of little rendition of the Lunar modeule (LM). or as it was called for the early missions the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM).
Must to a lot of folks surprise these tiny secondary assemblies can be converted for Micro-Maxx motor flying as well.
There really isn't much room for extras but a very small 1/2" x 6" Teflon Wadding/Streamer can be fitted along with about 24" of 70-90lb kevlar shock line and a 5/16" hardwood down fashioned into a top Hatch/nosecone.
I discovered these little models fly like single disc spools with a clear .030" Polycarbonate drag fin disc. This arrangement allows the LEM to attain very nice low and slow fights that seem to generate good attention
I gold leafed the lower stage of the 1:200 LEM for effect but just painted to 144th verison being a bit lazy
