Saturn V 1/72 Scale Dragon build Part 15
Interstage between stages 2 & 3 this is cone shaped section that joins the 2nd & 3rd stages together and starts with more printed circles to produce the arcs that fit between the uprights inside the structure next come the rocket motors that push the 2nd stage away from the 3rd these were made from scrap sprue suitably shaped to resemble elongated cones these still need another coat of paint and detailing
Alignment wise 2 of them appear to be lined up with the demarcation of the white & black patterns so all I did for the remaining 2 was to line them up with the other 2
There is some confusion over these as I’m led to believe they were omitted on later flights which pictures seem to show however I’m fitting them on mine as internally there are some structures to built to link with the outer rocket engines which I still have to construct but will consist of a small diameter tube and an elongated type of fuel tank along with a bipod type of fitting to the inside of the interstage see my drawing not very good but you should get the idea the long thin tube will connect to the rocket motors situated on the outside of the interstage
