Searching for Reference!

**markcable** · #1 02-04-2015, 03:59 PM

Hey guys, I've been working for some time on doing extra-detailed 1/72 scale versions of my rockets. I'm starting on the Atlases, and I'm running into some dead ends on reference. I'm doing all the stages, including the half-stage section of the atlas. I have great reference of the sustainer section, but not of the inside of the booster section that drops off. Anybody have any pictures of the inside they could loan me or know of any locations on the web? Would appreciate it!

Hi Mark,
Apart from the few well-known drawings you already must have, I couldn't find anything. Nor in my big collection of pictures.
These pictures below are only tantalizing because you could discern there actually *is* something inside but what? One is of an 1/48 metal model, the other's the real stuff.
And there was this link you probably found yourself, too.
Good hunting, my friend.

Yeah, I had both of those. I've since found some good ones, One of my own secrets that I was forgetting was searching on Flickr.

Various places you may already have found:
Historic Spacecraft - Photos of Rockets and Spacecraft
Atlas F
Also try the NASA spaceflight forum, one thread at Atlas Configurations
I'll assume you did a Google image search for "Atlas ICBM booster section", brings up thing like this https://www.flickr.com/photos/274176...11664652/?rb=1 ; and this Vintage Micro: The Talking Atlas | Drew Ex Machina . Also, search on "Rocketdyne atlas booster section" produces results.
