Hi All, Where do you go to get scale drawings (1/72) of the Saturn V with the Lunar Lander and Command Module so I can build one from scratch?

Don’t know about 1/72, but plans in 1/48 can be found at www.realspacemodels.com Go to the menu bar and click on drawings. The drawings are done by Dave Weeks, one of the top-if not the top- real space model builders in the country. You’ll also find a 1/72 CSM, that’s first rate as well. Airfix is rumored to be rereleasing their LM in 1/72 so that should ease your burden a little. Be sure to post pics as you go along.

Does anybody know of anyone who has tried to scratch build a Saturn V in 1/72 before? I was wondering what some of the pit falls might be. Magoo

Andrew,

I don’t know of any that are being scratchbuilt in 1/72, but there are several being done in 1/48-just can’t recall the websites. I believe it’s Apogee rockets that makes a 1/70 flying kit that you might start with, then add Real Space’s 1/72 CSM. Not to take anything away from this forum, but there’s a very active space modeling group on Yahoo groups, come on over.

Thank you for the informatrion. What a great amount of detail and effort is going into that model. Makes me think I’m a little lacking in the skills department. However, nothing like a good example to make sure you try harder to complete your own up to viewing standards. Again rhank you for the link, Magoo
