TITAN II GLV (Gemini Launch Vehicle)

After several month without building rocket this week a resume all my project today i finished with the Titan II GLV Scale 1:96, this is the first time i use the flame fins and an engines for display. I just need paint the flame fins . So hopefully this weekend can fly it.

I download it from https://jleslie48.com/gallery_models_apollo.html

It looks good! I like the detail and the launch configuration option. I've got a similar model that I made from a Sem-roc clone order. My model still looks good, but probably not as good as it did before the first flight.

That looks great... Congrats on a nice build! Love the flamefins and the storage motors...

Later! OL JR

Very nice (as usual for you)! I've always loved the Gemini-Titans; I vividly remember being four or five years old and watching the launches live on TV.

Thanks guys,

Luke, if i using flame fins is because you, after review your building post i decide to use it instead a clear fins,


See that launches live, It must have been amazing, unfortunately i didn't have that opportunity, i just could catch the space shutter

Great job... it really looks neat...

I just want to give credit where credit is due though-- FlameFins aren't my idea-- that came from Dr. Zooch! I love the fact you made yours removable for display-- swapping in engine bells for display in place of the flame fins that are needed for flight really makes a neat display piece... When I get around to building my Dr. Zooch Ares 1 I plan to incorporate the same idea so that the rocket makes a nice display when not flying...

Anyway, great work...

Later! OL JR

I didn't paint the flame fins yet, but i tested yesterday, the launch failure due a engine mount blow during the parachute ejection

The good news is that is fixable and we got good photos

Started building the 1:48 Scale Gemini Titan but stalled some time ago. Can't decide whether to go single or two-engine operation.

Remembers watching the GT launches. The gantry lowering. The way the exhaust flames intertwined. The animation or puppetry used to depict mission objectives. In one instance, a Lionel train set was modified to simulate rendezvous and docking.

And the distinctive howl as the main engines built up to full thrust...

Another beautiful rocket! Also, thank you for the help getting the Kosmos upscaled. Really appreciated.
