Dr. Zooch Saturn V Build Step 7 Apollo Spacecraft Part 1


My service module wrap was a little tall. I wanted to fill the gap.

A disk was cut from some scrap mat board. A hole was punched for the LES dowel with the rotary punch.

The disk was sized (sanded) and glued into the recess.

The LES dowel was already primed, sanded and painted white.

It was glued into the hole in the mat disk and drilled top of the Apollo adapter.

The disk is slightly raised over the top of the wrap edge.
This will act like a "shelf" giving the BPC shroud a better gluing surface.


After gluing the BPC shroud together, it was a little tight over the LES dowel.
No wonder, the paint increased the outside diameter of the dowel.

The small hole was opened up slightly by pushing the shroud over a sharpened dowel.

Any flare at the top of the shroud won't be seen, the tower wrap covers up the top.
