To help me understand and try to fix these problems, I used David Weeks’s 1/48 Saturn V drawing sets, available from RealSpace Models. At exactly twice the scale of the kit, they were a real boon to confirm the location and orientation of various details. Ah, interesting. The RealSpace CSM I used in my build is this one: http://ninfinger.org/models/realspace/96csm.html This Saturn V kit does NOT have printed instructions. All the assembly steps are described in video format. The kit includes three DVD's where you learn the specific techniques that we use to build this museum quality model. But because DVD's are becoming obsolete, we've now put them on YouTube so you can access them easier. Below are the links to the construction steps: After the construction and ground testing of each stage was completed, it was shipped to the Kennedy Space Center. The first two stages were so massive that the only way to transport them was by barge. The S-IC, constructed in New Orleans, was transported down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico. [67]

The Apollo Saturn V is an iconic type and is certainly impressive as you can see from the video at the start of this review, so this project is all going to be about fine preparation and that finished paint job – a nice weathering challenge!

I’ve spent the last few months re-familiarizing myself with the those old modeling skills, while learning some new ones. Your blog has been most helpful and encouraging in that regard. One of my goals has been to rebuild my collection of Apollo (also Mercury and Gemini) era spacecraft. Having assembled the Revell Saturn V when it was originally released in 1969, I look forward to building a more accurate version now. On Apollo 11, TLI came at 2 hours and 44 minutes after launch. The S-IVB burned for almost six minutes, giving the spacecraft a velocity close to the Earth's escape velocity of 25,053mph (40,319km/h). This gave an energy-efficient transfer to lunar orbit, with the Moon helping to capture the spacecraft with a minimum of CSM fuel consumption. [11]Upon arrival at the Vertical Assembly Building, each stage was inspected in a horizontal position before being oriented vertically. NASA also constructed large spool-shaped structures that could be used in place of stages if a particular stage was delayed. These spools had the same height and mass and contained the same electrical connections as the actual stages. [67]
