habu2 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 What color (and material?) was the “front porch” platform? Having trouble finding anything definitive... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) All of the pics I've seen that appear to be period photos show it to be a medium brown (kind of like old fiberglass putty) with a slightly lighter shade on what I assume are anti-slip pads? http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum29/HTML/001389.html Hope that might help?

K2Pete Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I asked Paul Fjeld about the porch and he states ... "LM-5 and before are that fiberglass "tannish". LM-6 and following are the grey aluminum." I wasn't certain at all about the colouration of the porch and finally reached out to Paul. Mr Fjeld knows the LM inside and out ... Thanx Paul! Now we all know! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lunokhod 2 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I never realized the egress platform had a different color starting with LM-6. It is great I have the information just before painted my Apollo 12 porch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
