Just a quick update for Drew. The Voskhod is almost complete.
I built the interstage and 3rd stage motors from the Soyuz add-on kit. The 3rd stage is from Drew's Voskhod-1 PDF. And the capsule section came from the stock Vostok kit.
It was a little tricky getting the pieces to all line up. Mine was a down-scale so I did several prints of parts using the draft-mode setting to make sure they would line up OK. This wasn't due to the quality of the parts -- I was working with 3 different sets of files created to print a couple different scales and I was working at a third scale.
The only work that remains is to add some nose-weight to the nose cone, attachment of the nose cone, and attachment of the shock cord.
Drew, is there anything else you can think of? There were some additional capsule details you were planning to add, but those don't have to go on right now.
Here's an updated picture of the Voskhod-1 stack.
