Here's my start on the Atlas V 400 series. It will represent the vehicle used to launch the LRO/LCROSS mission. Scale will be 1/144, with a 1/72 version coming down the line. It will include a complete Centaur upper stage which will be released separately in 1/48 too compliment the LRO/LCROSS models out there. The biggest challenge was figuring out the number of ridges on the payload fairing-I came up with 48, might be off by a couple. Hopefully no one will notice if that's the case. :rolleyes:

Very nice - and timely. I've got a 2.5" tube with a few cones for the Centaur in the LRO/LCROSS stack (did find some Centaur graphics for the mission - you need?). Not even thinking about engine details or the payload fairing. Over to you!

Dropped the simple LCROSS stack to the downloads today. Waiting on your Centaur. The LCROSS part may save you some work.

Hi Yogi, I'd love to have any graphics related to Centaur, particularly the ULA logo and the LRO/LCROSS insignias. You can send me an e-mail at the address in my sig or at [email protected]. Thanks! BTW, downloaded the models and they look fantastic! Great work! :)

Thanks for all the interest guys! :)
