Default Apollo replicas

I was looking over the Monsters in Motion website and came across these
four new Apollo replicas as well as some other Moon-related things.
Lunar Rover and base:

Apollo 17 LM:

(what exactly is "One Small Step" doing on the Apollo _17_ LM?)
Alan Shepard's golf shot:

Apollo 17 astronaut Eugene Cernan with flag:

The fully-articulated 12" Buzz Aldrin figure (no mention if it
incorporates "rock-em-sock-em" punching action)

And of course, my favorite lunar astronaut- Lt. Gay Ellis from UFO:

Now $349.95 may seem like a high price....but remember...this is a
PURPLE-HAIRED MOON LADY...they do NOT come cheap! Just ask Ed
Straker.... :-)

....Which begs the following question: I've got one of those
Revellogram A11 Landing kits still in box waiting to be assembled. Are
there any accuratizing kits for this gem and/or a Rover to scale?

This doesn't mean that none exist, but I've never seen either one.
Which is surprising, as they both would seem to be rather obvious
subjects for kits, given that the Monogram LM is a fairly good starting
point for work.
Airfix made a set of polyethylene astronauts that were scaled to their
LM kit, and included both a rover and two lunar flying vehicles:

I wish someone would make a set of American and Soviet astronauts in
1/144th scale, so that I would have something to show in EVA an my
Skylab, Salyut, Mir, and ISS stations to lend them scale.

In what langauge is "accuratizing" a word? It's not English or even even
Pentagonese. Klingon, perhaps?

(Sorry, it's been a long day filled with documents written by DoD)

Who sez we can't design and build new words..... After
all we are talking about assembling kits, so why not
assemble some prefixes and suffixes to build new words.

I once asked my 4th grade teacher who to petition to
get the word "ain't" accepted as an official word....

I have a Hallmark Xmas ornament of the rovor that seems to be close to
1/48 scale. You might be able to modify and accurize one to gone with
your LEM.
