Decals and Service Module wrap duly ordered from Sandman.

I'm very disappointed Estes is taking that position on the replacement parts for the LES. 40 odd years worth of Estes Saturn Vs and I'll bet every one that's ever launched could use a replacement LES. I gave up and got a Skylab nose cone from Sandman a couple of years ago. I have a Sirius/Moldin' (the new one) that I may use. Goodness knows it is tough and will add some nose weight.

Make no mistake, this Saturn 1B will be launched, and often.

And if anybody was wondering the Service Module tube is BT-58 and the first stage core tube is Semroc Series 11.
