Hi Kari - Yes those are the F-1 Engines for the 1st stage. I really need to pick that project up again.
Hey Portman, be glad this Saturn V isn't in 1/72 scale! That means yours should be easier to pick up and continue on.
Looking forward to seeing more on this and the Saturn. Keep them coming my man!

Thanks Duke,
I'll be back on it soon - I've just ordered a replacment aft (bottom) section for the 2nd stage. How the engines were mounted was totally wrong and this should correct it without me needing to do too much scratch building. I've also ordered a new CM. They're both for the Airfix kit but I should be able to make them fit.

I'll hopefully get a few coats of gloss on it over the weekend for the decals next week!

I like that F-5, had that one as a kid. After building it unpainted (colored plastic!) I later moddfied it with exta canards and rockets.
Nice work on those cockpits.

Thanks Borg!
Not much progress thus far but I have got some decals on the F-5B.
Cheers
