John Irwing Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Recently finished my attempt at the most powerful rocket to launch successfully built by man to date. A model Ive been wanting to make for 47 years. Not perfect but Im one happy bunny. The intrepid astronauts The command module(CM) On the service module(SM) The CM is a bit under scale most likely due the medium the kit is moulded in. On top of which is the Launch Escape System (LES) Next to the Lunar Module(LM) The LM fits in the top part of Stage III On top of which sits the CM;SM & LES Stage III sits on top of Stage II Finally the spacing ring and Stage I Which in total gives you the mighty Saturn V. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71chally Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Very nice, I like the way you show the stages of progression. I need to build one sometime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Very nicely built Sir. IIRC the undersized CM is due to the thickness of the LES shroud and the excessive taper of the LM 'hanger' atop Stage 3. A very nice build and the last upward shot works very well.

JMChladek Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 That is a very, very, VERY nice clean build! Impressive work and it shows you can end up with a first class model from the Airfix kit right out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
