Many thanks! Having done this kit once, I doubt I will do it again. Good luck with those kits! Bill -
Von Braun round-the-moon ship, new from Fantastic Plastic
Jeddahbill replied to Hamiltonian's topic in RealSpace Discussion
Thank you for posting this new release from Fantastic Plastic. Very pleased to see this subject finally in kit form after many decades of being neglected. A larger scale would be nice, but this does appear to be accurate to the original 1952 concept. Having done a semi scratch built version I probably will not purchase this kit, at least for now.

Apollo Saturn V and LUT

Thanks everyone for the comments! I have not yet found a good place to display this build, temporarily located in the front room with special permission from Ministry of Interior. Cheers, Bill -
If these tubes are no longer available from Plastruct, it might be possible to try some other styrene manufacturers or irrigation supply dealers. If you can find something close to the needed diameter, it can be very carefully cut and reduced or enlarged with an inserted strip. You could also try to duplicate the styrene sheet wraps in the Revell kit by using a thicker sheet and then fill the interior with expanding foam spray to give it some strength. I have not yet ventured into the world of 3D printing, but it seems that a tube could be printed, I have seen some others make entire 3d printed Saturn V rockets in various scales, including a giant 1/48 scale version. These are printed with full details and are very expensive. Hope this helps, please let me know if have any further questions. Bill

Thank you Peter. My daughter in law worked with NASA at JPL in Pasadena, California. Perhaps she can eventually convince them to take this for display, Regards, Bill -
