I think it was Revell, but someone made a 'Moonbase Alpha' model kit from the 'Space 1999' TV series. It is in a very small scale, might even be 1/300. I have one buried in my stack of models to do pile somewhere. You might still find one on the internet somewhere.

AMT/ERTL did a re-release back in '98.  Readily available for under $30 even today, multiple copies on ebay.  It's much smaller than 1/300, usually listed as 1/3200, as seen by the teeny tiny Eagles the kit comes with.  Still a neat kit, but not terribly useful for ground gaming.  I've seen the parts used as objective/target markers for starship games though, with warships flying low over a lunar surface and defense cannon emplacements helping out the defending fleet.  The scale of the base works pretty well with GZG's ship minis, making them look suitably huge and intimidating.

There's also this Moonbase, more recent (1:1800 scale):
