Re: Rocket restorations
Repaint of the Saturn I was completed back in February. Here's how she turned out:

Re: Rocket restorations
Pathfinder will be next! BOLO for an announcement on that soon. It's a very big project that will take 3 years to complete.

Re: Rocket restorations
Wait a second... When did they convert that Saturn1 into a block 2 vehicle? That LES and boilerplate aren't original.

I guess thats what happens when you don't live in AL.

Re: Rocket restorations
To my knowledge this was always a Saturn 1 Block II vehicle.

Re: Rocket restorations
Now, let me first offer a disclaimer, my brain is a pile of mush because of too much stress. But I'm almost certain the Saturn 1 only had a shroud back in the day similar to the block one Saturns that were used for the water shots when they were still testing the Saturn vehicles.
I'm going to look at pictures now...

Re: Rocket restorations
OK I know where I went wrong. I'm thinking of the S1 block 1 at MSFS next door. See what happens when you get old!

Re: Rocket restorations
The Saturn I looks beautiful. They did a great job with the restoration. I really look forward to Pathfinder’s restoration. Back when the foam was original, not painted over, we would count the pennies stuck in the foam from people throwing them at the ET. Anyway, I have many good memories of the Saturn I as well.
