Omg
With thanks to Tim Van Milligan. If you have the time, then assuredly this is worth the expenditure.

Is that the 1/70th scale?
I have one up in my closet . . . a Saturn 1b too. First I'm going to finally tackle my Estes Saturn 1b. 36 years is long enough . . . Also, I'm not sure where I'd store the assembled Saturn V. That thing is huge! |

That is the Apogee 1/70th. I have yet to even get my hands on the long lamented SHR Saturn V at 1/48 - that is 7.5 feet! I am not sure that I would even take on the Sirius at 1/64th. Having reached this point in building the Saturn V , I am becoming more inclined to go after their Saturn 1b.

I agree! I've built two of the Apogee Saturn Vs. Some steps on the Apogee Saturn were easier than the Estes Saturn. The DVD video instructions are a big plus on that complicated of a build. On the DVD, Tim explains a great way to paint the black patterns over the corrugations. It takes a little time to do but is much better than trying to mask it. His method works very well. I like the size comparison shot of the Redstone next to the Saturn V.

The details on the wraps are spot on. Once you settle in to stretching them into place it is a relatively predictable task. The only resin parts are the OMS pods, fins, and ullage motors.

Not to get off topic but I cant help but notice the Nike Ajax in the first picture would you happen to have the pattern for the self adhisive wraps?
