I really thought I'd posted this here, as well as at PM, but I don't see it in a search. So, time for a new thread.
Inspired by an article in Finescale Modeler call "To Mars: In 1956!", I set out to build my own model of the Von Braun Mars Lander depicted in the article. The original was 1/160, but the published plans were 1/350. For the sake of space, I started with a 1/350 model. The three view is shown below, with the tanks and engine section of the interplanetary drive section attached.
I've done 3 test builds of the wing so far, 1/350, 1/700, and a huge 1/144 sale version. Pictures of those to follow.
