Default Saturn 1B 1/100 centering ring card scan?

Good morning modelers,

I'm looking for a scan of the centering ring card for either the Estes or Centuri 1/100 Saturn 1B. Neither the YORP or Jimz seem to have that part scanned.

My EBay found Estes 2048 was missing some rings. I've worked my way around most of them, but thought I'd ask for help on the display motor mount card. It's trickier to recreate.

Charles

I don't know if this will help you out or not but I make two of these Saturn Star Tank Rings in place of the centering rings you're talking about I think. After you make them you may have to do a little sanding to make everything fit but it works nice.

Do you use those instead of the central Jupiter missile tube?

I'm actually looking for the disk that the 8 nozzles mount to. This looks like a nice reference item, though. Thanks.

I've had a generous offer of a spare card - I'll post a scan.

In case that doesn't work, let me know. I have a 1/100 kit that I can scan if necessary.

here are the scans also, I recommend using foam core for the centering rings, it works great.

Thanks so much, Scott. (!!)

I flew my S1B this past weekend. I made a mistake with the shock cord mounting, resulting in a melted cord and a booster return to earth tail first - like SpaceX, but without the landing burn.

I'd post a picture, but I mostly do rocketry work off my phone, and it's become increasingly difficult to post to YORF. No more photobucket for hosting. Native camera files are too big. Favorite resizing app no longer supported. <sigh>
