Agreed. My hands are shaking as though I were trying to precisely place details on this build.

Now this is the part I was most looking forward to seeing on the new kit.

The LEM Shroud/transition.

This is a nice blow-molded piece. Good detailing.

There's an anchor point for attaching a shock cord/recovery system.

My psychic powers are telling me that this component would make an excellent part for a 1/100th scale Saturn 1B kit.

Here is the decal sheet.

I think there was a printing mistake.

There's "UUUU" then "SSSS" and "AAAA".

Oh, wait. Never mind...
