It was quite easy to build and I think if Estes wants to make a ‘Saturn v builders kit’ they should look at this thread LOL
Your Service Module is too long . . . Same for the S-IVB.
My long-time friend, Chuck Corway ( R.I.P.) created the most awesome set of Saturn V scale drawings that I have ever seen. Chuck believed, as do I, that scale data should be shared freely, not hoarded away. He asked me to carry on, which I do to honor him and his memory.
Enjoy his PDF file.

When in doubt... build hell-for-stout!
Dave's a sucker for details....
What a beautiful and incredibly detailed set of drawings Chuck Corway made! Thanks for sharing. I’m a big fan of scale model rocketry.
Chuck was all about sharing and making interest in Rocketry grow . . . I think he must be smiling today.
Excellent . . . Come "hang out" in the Scale forum . . . Lots of data there and more "upon request", if possible !

If you REALLY want to see those drawings "come to life" and the detail to "pop", do the following in Adobe Reader.
( 1 ) Select "View"
( 2 ) Select "Show / Hide"
( 3 ) Select "Rulers & Grids"
( 4 ) Select "Line Weights" and toggle them OFF ( uncheck them ).
"Zoom In" and ENJOY !

All of my scale build threads are in the scratch built forum but I scan the scale forum quite a bit.

Yeah it’s not to 100% scale, but it flies great
Since they are Scale builds, it would certainly be a lot easier to find your projects for the build threads to be in the Scale forum.

True, but they are not kits. They are scratch builds. Various Titans, Ariane 5, Delta IV Heavy, Delta II, Atlas V 551 and just started GSLV Mk II F11. Finished models are posted in the Gallery forum
Exactly my point . . . REAL Scale Models are NOT "Kits" . . . They are scratch-built, with painstaking attention to detail, right down to the screws and rivets, in many cases !

Okay I’m not even in the same ball park as that Soyuz of yours. That is one gorgeouslay detailed model.
I’ll stay in the Scratch built forum as mine are only only sorta scale.
