Revell 04909 Apollo Saturn V 1:144 Scale Unbuilt/Unpainted Plastic Model Kit

Product Information

But thanks again for the great kits. I'm so glad I got the Saturn V before it went out of production. I feel like I have a collectors item!

The alignment between the kit SLA and S-IVB stage is wrong, and requires correction—see build log for details. The kit parts include a printed styrene sheet to be rolled to form the central tank structure. This is marked USA, which is inappropriate for manned missions—I turned it inside-out and painted it to match the rest of stage. The fore and aft skirts needed extensive detailing from New Ware, and the service tunnel was replaced. Boehm, J.; Fichtner, H.J.; Hoberg, Otto A.

Given the age of the kit there is some excess flash plastic that’ll need to be removed from the parts and you can probably see this in the photos. Detail sprues Ha! Yes, a typo. I like the magnet idea! And yes, choosing the right aftermarket pieces is a bit daunting. And expensive!

Three crews lived aboard Skylab from May 25, 1973, to February 8, 1974. [83] Skylab remained in orbit until July 11, 1979. [84] Post-Apollo proposal [ edit ] The Saturn-Shuttle conceptThis parking orbit was quite low by Earth orbit standards, and it would have been short-lived due to aerodynamic drag. For perspective, the current ISS orbits at an altitude of roughly 250 miles (400km), and requires a reboost roughly once a month. This was not a problem on a lunar mission because of the short stay in the parking orbit. The S-IVB also continued to thrust at a low level by venting gaseous hydrogen, to keep propellants settled in their tanks and prevent gaseous cavities from forming in propellant feed lines. This venting also maintained safe pressures as liquid hydrogen boiled off in the fuel tank. This venting thrust easily exceeded aerodynamic drag. [ citation needed] I want to state publicly how pleased -- no, *thrilled* -- I am with the Saturn V kit. The level of detail is outstanding, the fit of parts is beautiful, and (my opinion) it isn't really as hard to build as some might think, thanks to a highly detailed and very clear set of video instructions." -- Terry "P'rfesser" McCreary a b "Ground Ignition Weights".

Considering just how iconic the Saturn V is and how suited its design is to model-making kits, it was inevitable that LEGO would get in on the action and produce their own version. a b "Wernher von Braun". earthobservatory.nasa.gov.

For express precisely the truss structure of the huge building, used white metal parts and etching, and diorama base is made with the resin cast, this is Multi-material kit.Severe pogo oscillations in second stage caused early center engine shutdown; guidance compensated by burning remaining engines longer. Third crewed lunar landing mission was aborted by service module failure.

My original comment on this was a little rushed, and I didn’t make exact measurements because the boat had rather sailed for me, with everything assembled.The S-II stage is wrongly aligned with the S-IVB aft interstage—see build log for details of the correction required. Now designed based on in-depth analysis, made the diorama kit that reproduces the LC-39A panoramic view in scale of 1/700.
