Default Skylab Dimensional data needed

I checked the archives and came up with nothing (or maybe I just missed it); I'm looking for the dimensions of the primary solar array (wings) fairings, top to bottom, width, station numbers, whatever I can get. I could extrapolate it from photos but I was hoping for hard numbers. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you Dave! this is VERY helpful. I've got a 1/100 Saturn V/ Skylab I'm scratch building using injection molded detail parts salvaged from a VERY old Estes Saturn V kit. Accurate dimensions for the detail components of the Skylab section are hard to come by. Thanks again.

Real Space Models has an excellent set of Skylab drawings - I used them when I did a Skylab conversion of a Sirius Saturn V after a launch mishap destroyed the third stage.

Thank you for letting me know this. I'd seen the drawing pack and considered it but wasn't sure it would have the info I was specifically looking for (dims in the launch configuration) and no one I knew had seen this particular package. i think I'll probably go ahead and order it. Thanks for the heads up!

It's quite a complete drawing set - there is a lot of stuff there you won't need for a launch configuration such as the docking adapter. But it also has all the important stuff for the launch configuration. You'll like it
