Watching with interest. I have a 1:72 scale Saturn V from Dragon in my stash waiting to be built. Good luck with your research and build.

The 1:72 Dragon ? Cool! This one is really annoying.

I like what you do to this rocket.

For this Kit the appropriate Detail set NW006 from New Ware is a Must. In Minimum the decals, NWD006. This because the Strange flexible parts with printed „USA" „United States", etc, on it are in a different white tone than the rest of the Kit. I will spray it with the correct white Color.

Now all the resin and photo edge parts mounted and with Mr Hobby gray primer 1500 sprayed. It looks a little bit bad, the strong glue which is suggested for resin, swells on some parts out. With the primer on it now, it can be really clearly seen. This means sanding again..

Bought for this a real good tool😄SPIAE ES-A Reciprocating Sander you can see here a test:Youtube Video
The first impression from my side is very good

Now it's decided. It will be the Saturn V of Apollo XI ! The exhausts of the F1 Engines were roughly covered with a thermal insulation. The next versions had better insulated exhausts.

I think it will take more time than I thaught . There will be a lot of putty needed, the Cockpit and wheelbay I also will upgrade with scratch parts.

Finished now the upper side, Camouflage, markings, etc. The little parts are decals. I mixed some from Revell with those from HK to compare. The Revell ones are more thick, the Color is nearly the same. As I brushed the roundels with airbrush, there will be no danger about silvering. It also looks more „integrated" into the colors of upper side.

To mount the engine gondolas is so laborious… Nothing is really fitting. It's not really bad, but it's also not really good. The imression is, that it is not really precisely. You must be aware about this, if you make this model.
And my strongly recommendation is not to use the canopy parts of the Kit. use one from a third party seller which is one peace.

Finito! The kit was a cheap one, unfortunately also a poor one. The appropriate HK Model kit costs 10 times more. I think, one of these days I will do a second DK 333 Mossie from HK Models, only for enjoing the build. 🙂
