    1/48th Scale Saturn V

    The SLA and IU are both from Shapeways. The kit simply gave you a heavy paper piece along with 1mm. stringer material to mark off the four separate SLA panels. As for the IU, the original gave you no further details, just a blank slate.

    Not the best photo, this piece came from Shapeways, one of a number of different manufacturers I've gone to for bringing this to life along with scratch building. Oz Mods and New Ware. I've penciled in the detail to bring it out for the photo.

    With spot putty, filing and sanding, these will come out fine once I shoot primer over them as you will see later.

    The panel is on and now I've marked off where the vent holes will go. There are two sets of these 180 degrees apart from one another. These will be drilled out rather than using decals to replicate them.

    I removed stringer material for the access panel to go into. I determined it would look better recessed into the interstage rather than attaching it on top of the stringers.

    1/48th Scale Saturn V

    Finished aft interstage with approximately 150 stringers glued on. Drove me nuts this did.

    1/48th Scale Saturn V

    The aft interstage was originally a two piece resin affair with stringer detail molded in. When placing these two pieces together, I had a 1/2" gap so I chucked them and began scratch building from 0.030 sheet styrene with 1 mm square stringers being individually attached.

    You can see the lip inside the retainer which the shoulder of the engine casing end closure butts up against.
