Hi there,

after Revell is now on the market with the limited edition of the Launch Tower Kit 4911 , now also LVM Studios has retightened and finally aired the mystery surrounding the long-awaited Detail kit No. 5, which is now officially released and probably will come next week in the shipment. 

And here are first pictures of the RSS Exterior Details, as there would be cable trays, walkways, platforms, stairs and much more.

And thus also the RSS is now fulfilled with real life.

MANFRED,                                                                                                                                                     I got the email announcement from Leon. The new details look amazing! Also it sounds like this will be the last PE kit that LVM will produce for this model. With these five kits added, the details on this model are just to die for!!
OMG, I finally discovered what's wrong with my brain: On the left side there's nothing right, and on the right side there's nothing left!

RICH,

I fully agree with you, these Detail kits give an amazing face lift to the Revell Launch tower.

BTW, I had Leon proposed some ideas for further detail kits, e.g. Utilities interface platforms around the MLP, such as the North bridge, Flame deflectors, etc. ...

Hello together,

and here's a foretaste of Detail kit LC39S5. By looking into the Assembly instructions (PDF 36 p.) can now be seen precisely how many nice PE parts are included, which means a lot of tricky work.



Some resin parts are also included, e.g. for the two trucks and other parts.

Hi there,

yesterday came the long-awaited Detail Kit No. 5 with the post, I had already briefly introduced. And I wanted to show you here with some actual images of the PE sinkers and resin accessories. 

In a larger sturdy cardboard is this package with a CD that contains all the building instructions of the previous kits with the already known LVM photos of the installed parts as well as numerous reference photos, so among other things, by the FSS with the EES, as well as the Access arms GOX, IAA and OAA.

From the RSS as a main component of the pad LVM but could donate some photos more confidently.



Then to the PE-sinkers, which are the three A4-size,







and these two about A5 size.



There are still a considerable number of resin parts and some Evergreen profiles.



Altogether again a rich offer for friends nice details that are not afraid of these PE parts and their delicate workmanship.

Only a statement for understanding of time, because LVM has developed this detailed kit special and appropriate for the "old" Revell Launch Tower Kits 4910 and 4911 the pad design of the kits corresponds to the detailed features of the early shuttle missions early or mid-80s years.

Only later various equipments and extensions were added, such as the Weather Protection System and much more, such as the then still missing 4th bottom floor on the IAA.

And so all the proud owners and those who will soon be that much fun at work.
