Hi, My name is Charles. I would like to know if there’s anyone out there who can provide me with an address or phone number of a company that sells the Apollo Spacecraft kit? Thank you
Charles, I take it you are talking about the CSM command vehicle? If so, Monogram has (had) a 1/32 kit, and I’m sure there are resin/metal bits available somewhere to improve it. Is that the kind of scale you are looking for?

Hi Domi, this is Charles. Yes that’s the model I was referring to. If it’s possible could you provide me with an address or phone to that company. Thank you. charles
Out of production, I think, but some are still lurking around. Check this one out:

Hello all,Just dragging up a very old thread but I have had this kit for some fifteen years now.I had started to build the capsule but ran into a problem finding a color called Chromium Green.Any ideas where I could find this color?Or is it going to be a case of trying to find something close to the color.Many thanks.Walt
Walt,
You might try interior or bronze green. Model Master makes the interior green, Tamiya does a bronze/NATO green. It’s been a while since I’ve looked at the ones in my stash, but as I recall the color call outs aren’t that realistic.
Try Zinc Chromate Green also by Testors in thier Model Master range
The 1/32 Apollo CSM has been re-released is available at Great Models and probably a lot of other places:

Be sure to redo the gold plating!
Revell seems to be reissuing many of the old Apollo program kits in the past few months
Nope. Don’t do that. The Command Module was covered in chrome mylar strips. Monogram’s been wrong for the last forty years.
Careful about that green color too, if you’re talking about the cabin interior. It was actually closer to Testor’s light aircraft gray; but had a greenish tint in photos due to lighting.
