Well, almost. I still want to build a proper base for it and possibly add an interior light. But three months of evenings has been well worth it.
Typically for Uhu02's offerings, the LEM is beautifully drawn and the fit and finish are very good. I scaled it up from 1/48 to 1/35, because I could. I used some photo overlays for the instrument panel, since the scaled-up kit parts were a bit fuzzy. Everything else scaled up well.
I used a lot of brush-on superglue to strengthen the narrow bits and fussy joints and I used tiny rare earth magnets and bits of steel to hold the two halves of the body together and to hold the top hatch shut.
A big, big "thank you!" to Uhu02 for making this kit available.
