Dragon 11012 Project Apollo-Sojuz Test Project (Apollo 18 and Sojuz 19) 1/72 – Plastic model kit

The Dragon 11012 Project Apollo-Sojuz Test Project (Apollo 18 and Sojuz 19) in 1/72 scale is a unique offering for space exploration and modeling enthusiasts, faithfully recreating the set of spacecraft that participated in the groundbreaking, historic mission in 1975. The Apollo–Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) was a symbolic moment in the history of space exploration, marking the first international space mission. During the test rendezvous in orbit, the American Apollo 18 and Soviet Soyuz 19 capsules docked together. This event marked the beginning of cooperation between the two greatest powers of that era during the Cold War and foreshadowed future joint space ventures.
