Soyuz details

From Apollo and Soyuz, to Gerry Anderson, Irwin Allen, Star Wars and Trek to Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and those strange, doe-eyed Japanese school girls...to any model kits you can think of, that only exists in imagination.

Soyuz details

Post by bobblelink »

I would like to model an early Soyuz rocket using the Airfix kit but can't find any pics of the three engines for the first stage (the Airfix kit has one which is correct for Vostock but not for Soyuz.

Can anyone help?

1: Light blue touch paper
2. Retire to safe distance
3. Enjoy Vodka and toast the victory of the People over the imperialist agressors

If the Rocket fails to ignite, DO NOT Return to it- it could explode in your face

I saw a real Soyuz capsule up close in the 1970s- it was an eye opener- the in flight computer was a revolving drum with a needle- when the needle hit certain points on the drum it would set off attitude adjustments or engine starts- primitive, but it seemed to work!
