Dragon 1/72 Saturn V complete, Apollo 8

#1 Post by RLobinske »

During the 46th anniversary of the mission, here is my 1/72 scale version of the Saturn V booster, AS-503. Based on the Dragon 1/72 scale kit with lots of scratchbuilt and kitbashed details added. Some of the dimensional issues were left in place as too much work to correct. F-1 Engines from RealSpace Models and decals from Space Model Systems. Painted as AS-503, Apollo 8.

Frodo inspecting included for scale. :D

You know it's not a good day when it starts out with, "Hey boss, we've got a weird one for you."
