When I want to show it un-stacked I turn the dome back over and put it back upright. Many times I have thought of rebuilding the Saturn 5 to correct all the minor flaws that I discovered after building but, as the saying goes, to many models to little time. Your rocket looks great, excellent job!
Thank you for the heads-up Gene, that's good to know. I'm building the Interstage and when I get to the S-I, I will recess the thrust structure a bit to ensure that the system will stack. You think and extra 1/4 inch will be enough?
