Monarch Models Moon Suit - Suitable for MMM

Calling all Major Matt Mason fans - Monarch have just issued a kit of the MMM Moon Suit - 15 years after the kit was first announced!

This is an unboxing video by CultTVman.

The review is from February 2024. A 2023 copyright date is visible on the instruction sheet, which is printed in colour.

There is also an information sheet on the real suit. This shows the suit on the Moon, as it appeared on the cover of Life magazine, 27th April 1962.

The kit is 1/8th scale, and is moulded in white, black, grey, and clear plastic. It comes with a diorama base, as is common with Monarch kits.

The decals are not the normal water-slide type, and this is pointed out in the review, and on the kit instruction sheet. Regular decals would have been better.

Monarch is a Canadian company, from London, Ontario, making specialist kits for enthusiasts, in limited numbers. That means they are going to be expensive (over $60 US) and hard to find, but look to be very high quality.

This looks like a great kit. I can think of at least a couple of people who will want one.
