Author	Topic: Advice assembling a large Saturn V display
BMckay Member Posts: 3435 From: MA, USA Registered: Sep 2002	posted 12-01-2020 10:00 AM Looking for advice on the purchase of a large Saturn V rocket model, up to 5 feet tall, to use in a exhibit. Not looking for the most detailed one because most people do not look at models in great detail. Would like the cool factor mostly. Also wondering if a model of the launch pad could also fit with it. The idea is to place it on a black box, then the launch pad in front of an 8 foot mirror/wall. Not sure about a glass case around it. Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
