It really is cool. It was 2 teams competing in a "space race re-do" to see who could launch first, the Saturn V team or the N-1 team. The Saturn V team gave up before they finished so the "USSR" team won. Check out the launch movie (near the bottom of the page). They have the USSR National Anthem playing in the background and a voice doing a countdown in Russian. It's pretty funny. |

Does anyone know from where I can get a set of detailed N-1 plans to make a large scale model (1/72) for display? Or for the Russian lunar lander? Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks. |

Give Alex Panchenko a call. A good guy who specializes in Soviet stuff. |

At one point I purchased a wonderful N-1 metal model from an eBay seller in the Ukraine, a lady whose name I can't remember.Rick is "spot on" in my view, referring you to Alex Panchenko, whom I've had many wonderful dealings with. Purchased from him (among other things) two metal models, one of the Soviet L-3 lander, and one of the LOK. Both excellent pieces. Fine craftsmanship, wonderful detail. Comparing the models to published and web information on the spacecraft, both models are highly accurate depictions as well. |

Now we know how a successful N-1 launch would have appeared! It looks so realistic. |

After many years of searching, I am finally going to receive a four foot tall roughly 1:100 scale model of an N-1 rocket. It is very basic with the lower segments being a military green with the top of the rocket being white. I have searched out many photos of the N-1 and seen no insignia on the rocket? I expected to see at least a Russian star on the N-1 but I see nothing. Can anyone give me any assistance as to markings on this rocket as it looks so naked as it is. Any assistance would be appreciated. |

The green seen on the N-1 is really gray... most Soyuz and N-1 grays look green for some reason. Perhaps color balance errors on images. |

Typically Soviet boosters didn't really have any logos on them like U.S. rockets did. The reason being is that the Soviets never really acknowledged a launch until after it was successful, and as such they didn't want to draw attention to their programs. I believe they also did this so that footage from one launch could be spliced into film footage of other missions. Without any mission specific logos, no one would be the wiser.I think Proton is about the only one that had anything on it (such as the Proton lettering in Cyrillic going down the booster). But they didn't really start logoing their rockets until western coverage of them became more frequent. |

Did you ever find a N-1 rocket model for under $200? |

Here are some pictures of Realspace's 1/144 scale N-1 that may still be available.
