saturn v drawings

QUOTE: Originally posted by vetman can anyone tell me where on the internet i can find a scale drawing of the saturn v which includes the size of the body tubes and how many tubes it takes for a 1/72 saturn v. i would like to make a scratch saturn with my grandson. thanks for any help. terry

I'm not real sure what you mean by "tubes". If you're talking about stages, there were 3, with the 3rd stage containing the Lunar Lander and Command Module. As for scale drawings, have you checked with any NASA sites. I have a kit at home, I'll see if it would be of any help with the instructions, but probably not. I'll see if I can't find something else out too.

thanks for your reply. i did mean the drawings of the scale modles of the different stages. i could not find any nasa sites but then i am new to these computers. could you help me find these sites. thanks for your help. terry

vetman,
Did you try this link.
http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/kscpao/history/apollo/apollo.htm
This one below I think is the best
http://www.apollosaturn.com/saturnv.htm
It is found within NASA's main site, www.nasa.gov. They are doing an historical look at the Apollo program. You should get some good info here. I'll check back later to see how you fared.

Good Luck!

I have some good pics I took of this thing when I was at Johnson Space Center in March. Email me if you want them and I'll load them on the computer and mail them off to you. They may well help you with your scratch build.

You can purchase scale drawings of the Saturn V from RealSpace Models. There website is located here:

Good Luck.

can anyone help me with the scale info? like how to figure out the dim. on how to to get the figures of a 1/96 of saturn v thanks for any help. terry

Go to apollo maniacs! Anything you want to know about the Saturn 5 or Apollo is there. From there you can find all you kneed to know to scratch build a 1/96 scale Saturn 5 .

Also check out the book 'Rockets of the World' by Peter Alway. Great reference, with scale drawings.

vetman;
try looking into the ship modeling arena alot of ships models are 1/96 scale and they have accossories for them, so try there and then you might have to slightly modify them to fit your needs also model rail roading is another area to lokk into because the figures are very close but their scale is 1/87 (HO Scale)
