This 61-page soft-cover booklet describes the Apollo program’s Saturn V moon rocket focusing on the hardware details most important to the scale model builder. Most of the text was written by noted Saturn V historian, John Duncan, with line drawings provided by award-winning modeler David Weeks. The book breaks down the rocket into sections, including the rocket engines, the S-IC first stage, the S-II second stage, the S-IVB, and the Apollo spacecraft. An historical treatment is included that notes the differences in each flight vehicle as well as the surviving museum exhibits. 136 photos and drawings are provided as references for the model builder. These cover rocket stage surface maps, dimensioned fairing drawings, photos of flight hardware, and museum displays. The second part of the book offers a comprehensive kit list and reviews of the most commonly available Saturn V kits. There are several in-depth build articles, explaining with words and photos how experienced model builders have added detail or otherwise enhanced their projects.
