Apollo 13 Lunar Excursion Module "Aquarius" 1/35 Scale Paper Model from the Kit designed by "Uhu02"

I built this kit several years ago, and it has won a few prizes at scale model contests. Uhu02's original kit is in 1/48 scale. I decided that a larger scale would be easier to build, so I enlarged it to 1/35 scale, which makes the model about 8½ inches tall, with a landing gear that spans 12½ inches. It is made entirely of paper except for main landing gear struts, which are wrapped around steel wire. 

The kit is a free download. The PDFs and detailed construction photos are here.

Photographing the model for submission to Fine Scale Modeler magazine, I discovered that part of the landing gear was collapsing. I spent an evening repairing and reinforcing the supporting struts with extra layers and liberal application of ACC. Paper brushed with thin ACC takes on the rigidity of plastic.
