Now I'll go to the point, I'm working on a 1/32 Revell Apollo command and service module (CSM) and I decided to build it as the Apollo 17 CSM.

For now I'm working on the service module but I need informations in order to do a better work.

First of all, is there a drawing out there on the internet which shows all wirings inside sector 4 of the service module? I have rebuilded all the tanks and the fuel cells from scratch but I'm having a hard time in understanding where all those wirings go...

The second concern is about the SIM bay.

I got the SIM book on the command module and I managed to get the width and height of the SIM panel, but I need some dimentions on it's dept, this is an information I cannot capture from the drawings.

I know there's the Real Space Models SIM bay available but that is Apollo 15 configuration and I prefer to try to make mine from scratch, if possible.

I already got SIM #6, is the book I used to get width and height of the SIM bay panel, as well as other details like the mylar pattern over the command module capsule.

Another thing I have to add to the service module are the two rectangular shaped boxes used to house the dipolar antennas while closed, and the Yagi antennae.

At this point I have to decide if I want to show the CSM during the scientific experiments or not. In the first case I have to show the SIM bay interior and the dipole antennas extended, in the latter I can leave the SIM bay with the panel still in position and the two antennas unextended and the lunar module docked to it.
