Mylar(?) strips covering the apollo command module
Posted by Griz on Saturday, February 5, 2005 5:43 PM
Does anybody know the patterns of the strips of mylar or whatever they are that cover the command module? I have the 1/32 scale apollo that I'm wanting to re-do. It has the gold plating on it and that isn't right. There was an apollo model in a recent FSM that had these strips on it but the photo is only of one side.

I would suggest picking up a set of the Apollo CSM & LM plans by Dave Weeks. They have the pattern laid out via a skin map. You can get the plans through Real Space Models.

Good Luck!

Thanks Dana!
I think it was Dave's CSM that I saw in FSM! By the way, I've been to your site to check out the 1/1 command module...very impressive!
