BMS/Alway Saturn V Build, Part 27, Hydrogen Lines and Nose Weight


The five Liquid Hydrogen Lines are glued in place, centered on the masked rectangle areas.

The instructions don't mention to do this, but I cut away the wrap strips under the glued on lines. The pieces were held in place while the lines were cut with a razor blade.





The Liquid Hydrogen Lines glued in place.
I'll be putting in the nose weight before applying the decals.
The first and lowest penny weight in the stack has a hole drilled in it to tie on the Kevlar line.

The other pennies are stacked on top, inside the Service Module tube.




It's interesting to note the supplied pennies are older, minted before 1982. After 1982, solid copper (heavier) pennies were no longer being produced.

The Kevlar line is tied to the screw eye in the base of the adapter.
Tie a  loop in the Kevlar so the upper body hangs with the tower end up.
