Vintage Apollo Lunar Module contractor's model from the collection of Grumman test pilot Scott MacLeod. The model is made of injection-molded plastic and approximately measures 6.5" tall and 10" across. The two-piece LM is removable from the base, separates into ascent and descent stages, and has numerous tiny projecting parts. Includes the original 10.25" diameter black base, which features color logos of both Grumman and NASA, printed "Lunar Module" text, and is signed in silver ink, “Scott MacLeod, Test Astronaut.” Includes an 8.5 x 11 photo of MacLeod in his flight suit, signed in the lower border in black felt tip, “Best wishes, Scott MacLeod.” In fine condition, with two satellite dishes detached but present.
Accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity from MacLeod: “The Grumman LM Contractor Model included with this COA is the original contractors model owned and used by Scott MacLeod during the Apollo space program and was used to show many people the makeup, sections and operation of the Lunar Module during my time with Grumman. As a Grumman Director of the Lunar Module Consulting Pilots, I worked closely with the astronauts during their training and was given this item during my time with Grumman before the Apollo moon landings. It has been in my personal collection ever since the mission.”
