Hope this helps you out. My Space Club Kids are building a 1:48th Scale
Saturn V right now, (Scratch design has been a nightmare). I will not
let them work with the high power stuff, (But we wish you good luck,
and God Speed).

If your Saturn V is for display, then were you aware of the website "Lower
Hudson Valley Paper Model Giftshop"? It's at
http://jleslie48.com/index.html

Between the site owner and some contributors, they have files to build a
Saturn V in both 1/96 and 1/48 scale for display, along with a Gemini-Titan
and a Titan III in the same scale. They take donations if you can.

I'm not any of the contributors or the site owner, I'm just amazed at how
good the drawings look.

We got our thrust structure from LHV Site. The full 1:48th scale that
Jon has posted is not as good a detail as that of the thrust structure
in the misc. section. We are repainting as we , (slow), go. The 1:96th
Saturn V that Ton designed and posted there, is great. When you take it
to 1:48th, you lose some detail. In answer to the question of the
source on the N-1 display model source it was:

I am always working on real and prop. model hardware projects with the
kids. I like to try and use the models, (Flying and Display), to teach
the history of Space Hardware Systems. I think that history is in the
Kitchen Details. That is one of the reasons I like the postings here,
(when they stay on topics of booster/craft/programs, roots, and tech.
info.)

Thanks,
