Revell 04909 Apollo Saturn V 1:144 Scale Unbuilt/Unpainted Plastic Model Kit

Product Information

The S-IC stage from SA-515, originally at the Michoud Assembly Facility, New Orleans, is now on display at the Infinity Science Center in Mississippi. I also corrected the number and position of the gores on the forward tank dome so that the vent pipes could be properly placed in the correct position. I’m a bit handless with card models, so I haven’t considered the Edu-Craft crawler or LUT, though I understand they’re excellent.

v=4drYZcMY9jU Along with your excellent technical articles, this is one of the clearest presentations of information I’ve seen on the subject. Lack of a second Saturn V production run killed this plan and left the United States without a super heavy-lift launch vehicle. And again, stringers need to be removed in several areas to allow the addition of multiple umbilical connections and access hatches from New Ware.An upper stage, the Earth Departure Stage, would have utilized a more advanced version of the J-2 engine, the J-2X. Like all the Apogee rocket kits, it was designed by a real engineer using true aeronautical principles. pounds (2,900,000kg) [3] and had a low Earth orbit (LEO) payload capacity originally estimated at 261,000 pounds (118,000kg), but was designed to send at least 90,000 pounds (41,000kg) to the Moon. S. [18] [19] [20] The Army and government began taking serious steps towards sending Americans into space. On the Apollo 13 mission, the inboard engine suffered from major pogo oscillation, resulting in an early automatic cutoff.

This continues the theme with several smaller ‘new’ kits that are in fact older kits repackaged with new, high quality decals. Nevertheless, coming complete with towering gantry and embossed USA logo on the rocket's body, this would certainly make for an attractive addition to a NASA memorabilia collection. The S-IC was built by the Boeing Company at the Michoud Assembly Facility, New Orleans, where the Space Shuttle external tanks would later be built by Lockheed Martin. L1* - This motor is classified as "High Power" and due to the propellant type or propellant amount, requires a Level 1 certification via the NAR or TRA to purchase. This Saturn V model from Dragon Models is incredibly detailed, featuring rendered launch escape system and command service module, fuel tanks and thrusters.When I was nine (in 1969) a school friend gave me his built Revell Saturn V (as he had lost interest) but my parents refused the ‘charity’ and made me give it back. These would make cuts in fuel and oxidizer tanks to disperse the fuel quickly and to minimize mixing. The S-IVB third stage would be used as the second stage for the C-1B, which would serve both to demonstrate proof of concept and feasibility for the C-5, but would also provide flight data critical to the development of the C-5.
