Default Wanted: Estes 30th Anniversary Saturn V Instructions

I decided to finish the Estes 30th Anniversary Saturn V that I started 10 years ago. It is at the stage to paint. I found the decals, parachutes, and plastic parts tree, but I cannot locate my instructions in my basement. (Ten years ago I lived in a different house. Why I didn't keep the instructions with the other parts, I have no idea.) Is there a scanned copy of the instructions online somewhere? I checked JimZ, but did not see any there. Thanks.

If you can't find one online, I can scan in my set and email to you, or fax, or snail mail to you. Which would you prefer? Jeff

Default they used to be online...

In .PDF format. I grabbed almost everything. I have the instructions, but they are too big to post. Send me your email and I will get them to you.

Would you believe I've always done mine by hand with a paint marker?

Well, I've finished the Saturn V, except for applying clear coat. I'll do that tomorrow. It doesn't look too bad from a distance. It is when you get close up that you can see where some of the black paint bled through the tape. I used blue tape and purple tape to mask off the roll patterns. Now I hope that it doesn't take me 10 years to build my next one. Here's a quick photo.

Very nice! Why does it look like the LES scaffold is solid?
