Once again, David Weeks has brought together years of research to produce a set of drawings that will allow modelers to produce excellent replicas of Apollo hardware. These 24 X 36 sheets are loaded with details and list known variances between specific spacecraft. All are shown in 1/48th scale.Sheet 1:Block I Spacecraft Details
On this sheet:
- Surface maps of CM 09 (AS-201), CM 012 (Apollo 1), CM 017 (Apollo 4) and CM 020 (Apollo 6).
- General arrangement views of CM, with internal cut away.
- Launch Escape System and Earth Landing System details.
- Surface map of the Block I Service Module with detail call-outs.
Sheet 2: Apollo Spacecraft General Arrangement
Illustrated on this sheet:
- Plan views with dimensions of the Command Module.
- External detail map of the Command Module and Service Module for Apollo 11, showing all external details.
- Plan view of Launch Escape System.
- Individual diagrams of external detail; Probe and drogue, High Gain Antenna, External light sources and EVA handles on the CM.
- Diagrams illustrating the internals of the Service Module.
Sheet 3: Lunar Module Dimensions and External Coloring
Illustrated on this sheet:
- Complete dimensional data for the Ascent and Descent stages through multiple plan views.
- Descriptive diagrams of all antennas.
- Illustrations covering the landing gear, ladder, porch, etc.
- Complete color info for entire LM.
Sheet 4:SLA Details, CSM, LM Overviews
Illustrated on this sheet
- Surface detail map of the Spacecraft Lunar Module Adapter (SLA).
- Color keyed plan view of the CSM, including a surface map of the CM with mylar tape patterns.
- Plan views of the LM.
- A magnificent view of the entire Apollo Spacecraft in launch configuration, from the bottom of the S-IVB forward skirt to the top of the Launch Escape System.
- Surface map of the Boost Protective Cover.
Sheet 5:CSM Colors, Scientific Instrument Module Details
On this sheet:
- Surface map of Apollo 7's CM, which was different from typical CM's.
- Exterior paint patterns of the Apollo 7 and Apollo 8-17 Service Modules.
- Diagrams of the SIM bay for Apollo 15-17 illustrating the differences.
- Surface map of the Service Modules for Apollo 15-17 with detail call-outs.
An excellent set of drawings, and a great reference source for my collection!
These, as well as the other drawing sets by David Weeks, are available through RealSpace Models.
