Hi John. Yes, this #2157 kit from the 1990's also has the molded parts. They probably simply molded ALL of the parts used in the #2001 kit and included them. A nice bonus! And I just checked, the newest release of the #2157 doesn't have the extra parts

Yeah--I thin kI'll do them in basswood.
To prepare, first I wrap and tape the lower wrap to the BT to markd the fin locations. Then I mark the sections on the back of the wrap itself where the adhesive WON'T be applied because I'll be cutting the sections out after the wrap is on and cured. TBC

The adhesive is set and the cutting out is done. This concludes the body wraps, so I'll start a new thred titled: "Hybridizing Basswood Fins Onto the Rereleased Estes #2157 1:100 Scale Saturn V to Replace the Vacu-Formed Plastic Fins". (or words to that effect) TBC
