Tony T Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Revell 1/144 scale, aftermarket decals. Finished the build today...and I didn't take WIP pictures! I have the paper models of the LUT and crawler yet to build to properly display this...in the meantime I did finish the base that came with the kit and the 3 12mm tall people standing on it...will get pictures of that later... I do plan on getting better pictures and show some of the detail a little closer...this is a tough subject to photograph compared with cars!

Jim B Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Nice looking Saturn V. The kit comes with astronauts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 No, just spectators, I guess...civilian garb...no space suits, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I have a sentimental soft spot for these and I hope mine comes out as nice as yours when I'm done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, that was the crew that ran under the booster engines with matches to light them. The job paid very well, but the contracts were very short.

The job paid very well, but the contracts were very short. Oh, I don't know. It worked out pretty well for the guy who lighted the engines at 30 seconds in this documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eENCQsjnevA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSNJim Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 That is a nice model. I remember the mission pretty well (I was 11 at the time), and am looking forward to your additional photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Looks Great! How BiG is it? Hi Ira...stands about 30 inches tall... Actually, that was the crew that ran under the booster engines with matches to light them. The job paid very well, but the contracts were very short. And not one has any safety gear on!!

Jim B Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Those are great pics. I didn't realize that it came with the Lunar Module as well. The figures really give you a sense of how huge the Saturn V really was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnU Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Man this is cool and brings back some great memories! I was 10 when the moon landing mission happened! I built this same kit and used to imagine it flying off to the moon from my nightstand! LOL! All I have left of it now are the assembly instructions. Thanks for the pics!
