I see the two variants of the Saturn V, are the two Saturn 1Bs also different?
This is quite a project you have ahead of you. Are you going to build them one at a time or all at one time?
Will there be a build thread on all of them?
If you need some extra capsules or anything I can help you with, just let me know.
Sirius offers resin capsule and fin parts in 1/100 scale as upgrades for the Estes kits. That’s what Antares means.I noticed you mentioned the Sirius Saturn V above. That, from my understanding, is indeed a beautiful model, but it's 1/64th scale, isn't it? Just curious... Love your backgrounds, air rockets, a tiny sandal, kids' toys... reminds me of when the grandkids are around!

(PS You should build the Boyce 1/100 Mercury Redstone to display with the Saturns. It really shows how humongous they are !)
I have the Redstone next to my static 1/100 Saturn V. It's occurred to me that you've been flying a bit in that Redstone before you even pass the top of the Saturn! And I'm not sure which is crazier - getting on top of that teensy little ballistic missile with no recourse - you ARE coming back down, properly or other wise - or making your way to the top of that flying skyscraper and heading for the moon. As I've gotten older, I've really grown to appreciate the abilities, the discipline, and the raw courage of our 1960's astronauts. It still no small thing to go into orbit, but these early guys, yow!I admire your moxie. Looking forward to the build pictures !

They are special. I would fill them too.Boyce SA-5 dry fitted together.
I don't usually bother filling in body tube spirals but Saturns are special. Filling them in is the agenda for tonight.
