Saturn Apollo S-II Stage 3D Model

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This is a High Definition accurate scale model of the Saturn V Launch Vehicle S-II stage that first helped to propel man out of Earth orbit into Trans-Lunar Injection and onward to the moon in December 1968.

Please download and read the free "Saturn Apollo Reference Guide" - PDF for in depth information about this model (downloadable from the full Saturn Apollo stack model).

Modelled with precision using detailed 1:48 scale blueprints and extensive photographic research spanning over a year.

The model includes the S-II Interstage that is jettisoned prior to the J2 engines ignition and the S-IVB Interstage. Separate parts enable realistic gimbaling of the J2 engines and heatshield skirt.

33 high resolution texture and bump maps offer down to the rivet detail.

Modelled with LightWave 9.6

2 GB minimum RAM recommended
