I discovered this excellent forum whilst researching the above and would be very grateful for absolutely any help.
With many thanks.
I don't think there are, but I'm not 100% sure... if there are, they'd be barely visible at just about any reasonable scale for a flying rocket...
Here's who to ask... if anybody knows about Saturn V details it's John Pursley... Check out his website on the Saturn V's at http://www.accur8.com/ He's a member of our club and is the former editor of "American Spacemodeling" magazine (the NAR magazine before it became "Sport Rocketry"). His knowledge of the Saturn V is SO extensive he was hired to assist in the restoration of the real Saturn V's on display in both Houston and Huntsville, Alabama. If anybody would know about LES markings, he would.
Good luck with your project! OL JR
