Apolo 1 - Airgam

Apolo 1 playset, Airgam, Spain, 1970's 
A modular space base, all in one neat package (well, hmmm. 4 packages really - this is the nº1).
As you can see there are a lot of antennas in Spanish space design from the 70ies...  and a lot of colors too !

The set also comes with cards showing the other sets and some different space base building techniques... all you need really for that perfect condo at the borders of the Sea of Tranquility !


The astronauts / spacemen are specific to these sets and are very nicely done (even though the ones I found did have some limb-loosing issues). All in all a very funky playset and I am eager to locate the other ones to make the mother of all space bases !
