The Ullage Rockets are ridiculously small!
You are supplied with four, you only need two.
Before removing them from the sheet, sand the sides smooth.
The top edge is sanded round.
Tweezers help to hold the piece as you sand the top round.
TIP: Keep small pieces safe in a zip-lock snack bag until needed.
The rockets were stuck on masking tape, sticky side up.
The penny is there to show the size of the rockets.
These were hit with filler/primer and sanded smooth.
Two rockets and the Liquid Hydrogen Line are glued on the upper body tube.
Just googling around for some White Sands V-2 photos, and I stumbled into your blog again. It's really interesting to see the Saturn V construction details after so many years It's a pleasure to see all those steps being so well executed--I had forgotten how clever I was for how some of the parts fit together--I remember being immensely self-satisfied with the fin/engine fairing assemblies back mumblety years ago.

Thanks Peter,
DeleteThis is such a well engineered kit, great work on all the assemblies and instructions. It'll be at NARAM, hope to meet you there.
