Latest ( of many) builds since March. 1/70 Saturn 1B, Apollo 7. This one is Mostly scratch. LES, Capsule and RCS clusters are from Apogee. Service Module is thin wall fiberglass (extending down through the SLA). The finish is aluminum tape with general panel lines achieved through a waterslide decal wrap printed on clear and the RCS panel detail & radiator panels were printed on adhesive backed label paper, cut close and applied. SLA is full scratch from styrene sheet and cardstock. S4B is LOC tube adjusted down for proper scale diameter. All corrugations are Evergreen sheet. Long tunnels are balsa. Short tunnels, AMU's, Ullage Rockets, Retro Rockets & antennas are from Accur8. Main booster is made from traditional light cardboard tubes. Centering rings are all hand lain carbon fiber. Fins, Antenna Panels (not yet installed) & H1 Engine set (not yet installed) are from Accur8. Panel lines on the booster tanks are "Weld Line" water transfer decals from Archer, as are some of the random rivet details. I still have a couple more rivet and panel line details I need to add and the Antenna panels will go on after the paint work. Also still need to work up the Av bay as this will be duel deploy. 29mm mount with room enough for a Pro-X 6 grain case so I have a large number of power options. I'll post more pics when it's done.
