I am having a hard time tracking one down. But Accurate Models still seem to be planning their own version , but it keeps getting put back so who knows when it will be available. Thanks for the reply. I had hopes someone might point me in the direction of where I can find one of Vistas models in private hands.
Hi Troy, I've been trying to buy one of the Vista Models kits for a long time. Member since June Troy, I'm also searching for the Vista Replica. Are you willing to sell? Astronaut Buck.

Most of the rivets on the ascent stage mid section plates were visible for instance and the color of the model was the most accurate representation of LM-5 I had ever seen.
Furthermore the availability of all photographs taken during the Apollo missions scanned at high resolution in the Apollo Archive web site was an invaluable source of information for reference of the Lunar Module. I choose to depict the historic LM-5 used for the Apollo 11 first lunar landing. I also resized David Weeks and Paul Fjeld's drawings which also describe the pattern of thermal coatings of the lunar module. Although many sources are available I came to realize that from one drawing to the other or from one model to the other the dimensions slightly changed.
A request for information on the Space-Modelers Yahoo group allowed me to get very precise dimensions that I used in making blueprints for my model.
I woud like to thank John Ortmann for having provided me with invaluable information on the correct dimensions of the Lunar Module. By clicking on the chapter title hereunder you will have access to the intricacies of building the various elements of the Apollo 11 LM-5 Lunar Module.
