NW045 1/24 World's First Spacewalkers Includes two figures one of Ed White, the other of Alexei Leonov - Manufacturer's description: In the spring of 1965 the space race was at its height. The Soviet Union achieved another in its series of space spectaculars when Alexei Leonov made the world's first space walk on March 18, 1965. The United States responded less than three months later when Ed White ventured into the black void of space as he sallied forth from Gemini IV. This New Ware kit commerates these heroic space walkers with dual figures of Alexei Leonov and Ed White in 1/24th scale sculpted by Ignacio Bernacer Alpera of Spain.
